This contract, under the Crown Commercial Service Framework RM6343 Lot 6, focused on providing tax consultancy services and included various aspects such as budgeting, forecasting, and rates mitigation. The procurement method was limited, with the contract awarded to Montagu Evans LLP on 6th February 2026, valued at £36,000.

The contract structure, including a fixed annual fee and gainshare linked to realised savings, rewards efficient management and cost-saving measures. Large-scale firms with established expertise like Montagu Evans LLP stand to benefit, indicating a preference for suppliers who can offer robust liaison with the Valuation Office Agency in North West London.
