UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Somerset Council procured treasury advisory services for its financial and treasury management needs. The work covers client adviser contact, strategic treasury advice, economic forecasting, technical advice and practical support, creditworthiness advice, market data updates, and access to a dedicated client-area website. This is a financial consultancy service (CPV 66171000), delivered for the council in North Somerset. The requirement is managed by North Somerset Council, based in Weston-super-Mare. It is a focused advisory engagement rather than a goods supply or construction project, suited to firms that provide ongoing specialist support to a public-sector treasury function and can combine strategic advice with regular market and credit information.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. North Somerset Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, covering one lot. The contract was awarded to ARLINGCLOSE LIMITED, an SME, with an award status of active. The award date was 30 April 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2027. Its value is £26,436 excluding VAT, or £31,723.20 including VAT. The council can extend the contract for a further 12 months, with the maximum contract end date being 30 April 2028.

This procurement shows demand from North Somerset Council for a broad treasury advisory relationship rather than a single technical report. Competitors would need credible financial consultancy capability covering strategic treasury planning, economic forecasting, creditworthiness assessment, technical advice and practical implementation support. The requirement also favours a supplier able to maintain regular client contact, provide timely market data updates and offer a reliable dedicated online client area. Experience advising public-sector organisations on treasury and financial risk would help a future provider demonstrate relevance, while the breadth of services indicates the need for a team that can combine senior strategic judgement with responsive day-to-day support. The awarded supplier’s SME status indicates that this scale of council advisory work is not limited to the largest firms.
