Summary of the contracting process

Milton Keynes City Council procured comprehensive treasury and leasing advisory services for its financial management activities. The requirement covers strategic advice on investments and borrowing, timely and proactive market intelligence, and specialist technical accounting guidance to support compliance with relevant standards. It also includes detailed lease-financing appraisals to inform decision-making and value-for-money assessments, together with training to strengthen internal capability and governance. This is a financial consultancy and corporate finance service, including financial transaction processing and clearing-house advice (CPV 66122000, 66170000 and 66171000). The work is for Milton Keynes City Council and is delivered in Milton Keynes, United Kingdom. The procurement is a single service requirement rather than a set of separate service categories.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. The award was made on 17 August 2026 to MUFG Corporate Markets Treasury Limited, and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 2 September 2026 to 1 September 2029, with an optional two-year extension available until 1 September 2031. Its contracted value is £65,400 excluding VAT, or £78,840 including VAT. The original tender estimated £80,000 excluding VAT and £96,000 including VAT. Bids were evaluated on quality at 30% and price at 70%. The tender submission deadline was 30 June 2026 at 12:00, and the enquiry deadline was 23 June 2026 at 23:59.

This opportunity indicates established demand from Milton Keynes City Council for an external adviser combining treasury strategy, leasing expertise and technical accounting capability. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to advise on investment and borrowing decisions, interpret market intelligence promptly, and provide technically robust guidance on accounting standards and compliance. Experience of lease-financing appraisals would be important, particularly where recommendations must demonstrate value for money and support public-sector decision-making. Suppliers should also be able to deliver practical training, strengthen governance and transfer knowledge to council staff rather than relying solely on external analysis. The award to an SME-sized financial advisory business shows that the work can suit a focused specialist with sufficient capacity, relevant public-sector experience and a broad treasury and leasing skill set.
