Summary of the contracting process

Clackmannanshire Council bought specialist financial management consultancy support for its Finance Service Recovery Programme. The work covers programme leadership, technical accounting, support producing financial statements, audit readiness, capability building and knowledge transfer. Its purpose is to restore statutory financial reporting timescales and help establish a sustainable, resilient finance function. The council is based in Alloa, and the requirement is for support to its finance service.

The procurement has been awarded to PricewaterhouseCoopers, and the contract is recorded as active. The contract was signed on 10 September 2026. The awarded fixed price for the initial 2024/25 phase is £495,750 excluding VAT; the award terms say this phase can be delivered independently and includes all mandatory deliverables. The council has no cancellation charge, minimum commitment or other liability if it does not commission the subsequent 2025/26 phase. One bid was recorded. The procurement is for services; the available details do not state the procedure or evaluation criteria.

This award shows demand for hands-on finance recovery support at a public-sector organisation. A credible competitor would need to bring senior programme leadership alongside technical accounting expertise, financial statement production support and practical audit-readiness capability. The requirement also calls for building the council’s finance team capability and transferring knowledge, so suppliers should be able to leave behind a more sustainable and resilient function rather than provide advice alone. The initial phase combines several specialist workstreams under a fixed-price arrangement, indicating a need to coordinate delivery across them. The award provides a reference point for the scope and supplier capabilities relevant to this council’s finance recovery requirement.
