UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Guinness Partnership Limited bought tax consultancy services to review Council Tax liabilities for the organisation and its subsidiaries. The work covers open, closed and dormant Council Tax accounts. Its purpose is to verify rate liabilities, identify errors made by billing authorities, and identify and apply any available reliefs. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. This is a specialist public-sector requirement for a consultancy able to examine property-related Council Tax records, test liability calculations and identify recoverable overpayments or reductions. The buyer is a public undertaking based in London, and the selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise specialising in property evaluation services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold procedure, with the specific method recorded as unknown. It comprised one completed lot. General Evaluation Property Limited was awarded the contract, which was signed on 1 April 2026. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2028 and has a gross value of £120,000. The service is classified as tax consultancy. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement was evaluated as a service procurement focused on Council Tax liability analysis, verification of billing authority errors, and the identification and application of relevant reliefs across the buyer’s account portfolio.

This procurement demonstrates demand from The Guinness Partnership for specialist Council Tax recovery and liability-review work covering a substantial and varied account base, including dormant and closed accounts. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical expertise in Council Tax legislation, liability verification, billing authority processes and the identification of applicable reliefs. It would also need to analyse records systematically, detect billing errors and substantiate adjustments or refund claims across multiple accounts and subsidiaries. Experience combining tax consultancy with property evaluation would be particularly relevant. Suppliers should be able to manage sensitive financial data, produce defensible findings and work consistently across properties and billing authorities throughout the United Kingdom.
