Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Client Assets (CASS) arrangement advice" was overseen by Border to Coast Pensions Partnership Limited, a public authority in Leeds, United Kingdom. This tender, under award and contract stages, involved limited competition below the threshold, inviting three suppliers to quote. Awarded to Grant Thornton UK Advisory & Tax LLP, the service was to be delivered within England, focusing on financial consultancy services. The contract commenced on 19th August 2025 and concluded on 2nd September 2025, with the finalised phase ending by 3rd September. The tender adhered to legal standards set by the UK Parliament Act (2023/54). Despite its termination status, it initially signified completion with a gross value of £45,000 under a signed contract worth £37,500.

This tender provided significant opportunities for businesses specialising in financial consultancy, particularly those capable of advising on complex Client Assets arrangements within a controlled timeframe. Although this contract was specific and already completed, similar future opportunities may appeal to both large consultancy firms and specialised financial service providers with expertise in regulatory compliance and asset management. Engaging with similar tenders could enhance business growth by establishing expertise and a proven track record with public authorities like Border to Coast Pensions Partnership Limited.
