Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Lancashire procured a Treasury Management Advisory Service. This is a financial consultancy service supporting the buyer’s treasury management requirements. The named buying organisation is the Police and Crime Commissioner for Lancashire, based in Preston. The service is delivered in the United Kingdom. The procurement is categorised as services, with the underlying classification describing financial consultancy services. The requirement covers advisory support to the Commissioner rather than the supply of physical goods, construction or operational works. It is a single service requirement under the title Treasury Advisory Service 26, serving the buyer’s treasury management needs during the contract period.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. The contract was awarded directly to Arlingclose Limited using a below-threshold procedure without competition, under the stated legal basis of the Procurement Act 2023. The contract was signed on 7 July 2026 and runs from 8 July 2026 to 7 July 2027. Its value is £21,506.66 excluding VAT, or £25,807.99 including VAT. Arlingclose Limited is the selected supplier for the single lot, and the award is active. The published description records approval to use this supplier for treasury management advisory services and to waive the relevant standing orders.

This opportunity indicates a requirement for specialist treasury management advice and financial consultancy for a policing public authority. Competitors seeking similar work with the Police and Crime Commissioner for Lancashire would need a demonstrable capability to provide reliable treasury advisory services, understand public-sector financial management and give advice suitable for an accountable public body. Credibility would come from relevant experience supporting treasury functions, producing clear and defensible financial advice, and working within public procurement and governance requirements. The awarded supplier is an SME, showing that a business does not necessarily need to be a large corporate provider to deliver this type of specialist advisory service.
