This initiative, classified under financial and management consultancy services, aims to review and benchmark the council's fees and charges amidst financial pressures. Located in London, the council plans to utilise external expertise for this review, as it has not been updated since prior to the pandemic. The tender is currently in an active stage with an open procurement method. Key timelines include a tender submission deadline of 22 August 2025, and the contract period spans from 15 September 2025 to 14 September 2026. The opportunity is valued at £84,000 gross (£70,000 net), and electronic submissions are welcomed via the City of Westminster Procurement and Contracts portal.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in financial consultancy, business and management consultancy, or performance review services. Ideal candidates would be those capable of conducting comprehensive financial assessments and strategic benchmarking for public sector clients. The procurement's focus on maximising income sources for the council means that businesses with robust analytical capabilities and experience in delivering pragmatic financial solutions stand to benefit. This project not only allows businesses to secure a substantial contract but also provides potential for future collaborations if their services effectively enhance the council's revenue stability.
