Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process detailed here involves Essex County Council as the buying organisation, seeking to acquire treasury advisory services under the tender titled "Treasury Advisory Services." This procurement falls under the services industry category, specifically financial consultancy services, and is located in the UK region UKH3. The procurement process is already complete, having reached the award stage. The contract with a value of £47,066.67 was signed on 29th August 2025. It involved a limited procurement method, which followed an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, using the ESPO Framework 664_21 Lot 2F, where expressions of interest were requested and a direct award was made after receiving one response by the deadline.

This tender offers growth opportunities for businesses specialising in financial consultancy services, particularly those experienced in treasury management. Large companies like MUFG Corporate Markets, which was the awarded supplier, are well-suited to compete in such tenders. However, smaller enterprises could potentially benefit from similar opportunities if they have the expertise to support in-house treasury management teams in shaping and implementing strategies that ensure value for money and compliance with best practices. This contract highlights the importance of having the right advisory capabilities to support public entities in managing investment and borrowing activities effectively.
