UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council procured financial consultancy services under the title Consultancy Services. The requirement covers professional advice on financial matters for the council, classified as financial consultancy services (CPV 66171000). It was a single-lot service requirement delivered in the United Kingdom. The council is the buying organisation and the public-sector client for the work. The selected service provider was KPMG LLP, a large professional services firm. This opportunity is therefore relevant to financial consultancy practices with experience advising public authorities, councils or similar organisations, particularly those able to provide specialist financial advice as an external service provider. Firms whose work is limited to unrelated management, legal, engineering or general administrative consultancy would not be well matched to this requirement.

The procurement is complete and the award is active. It used a selective procedure, with the contract awarded below threshold under a framework; the call-off was not competitive. One lot was completed. KPMG LLP was awarded the contract on 5 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 5 August 2026 to 2 October 2026. Its value is £120,000 excluding VAT and £144,000 including VAT. The award covered the financial consultancy services requirement for the single lot. The outcome shows that the council used a framework-based route for a short, defined engagement rather than an open competition, with one supplier selected for the complete requirement.

For competitors, this award is a clear example of Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council buying substantial, focused financial consultancy support through a framework route. A credible future supplier would need demonstrable expertise in financial consultancy, the ability to advise a local authority, and sufficient senior capacity to deliver a complete engagement within a tightly defined period. Experience of public-sector governance, council finance, regulatory requirements and producing advice that can support formal decisions would strengthen a supplier’s position. The successful supplier’s scale also indicates that the buyer accepted a large professional services firm for this requirement, so smaller practices would need to show equivalent technical depth, quality controls, resilience and relevant public-sector references, whether bidding independently or through an appropriate framework arrangement.
