Summary of the contracting process

Dumfries and Galloway Council intends to buy treasury management advisory services for its own financial management. The appointed firm will advise on preparing the Council’s Treasury Management Strategy and Policy each year, and on the content of its annual and mid-year treasury management reports. The work will also cover advice on borrowing and investment decisions, treasury markets, economic and sector developments, and fair value calculations when required. The adviser will provide guidance and training to Council committee members and officers. Services are to be delivered for Dumfries and Galloway. This is a specialist professional services requirement focused on public-sector treasury management rather than the provision of lending or investment products.

The process is at the planning stage: the Council has stated an intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. The planned contract is for three years, with an option to extend by a further year. The stated estimated value is £72,000. The Council expects a further notice on 2 November 2026; this is an indicative publication date, not a bid deadline. The requirement is described as a single lot. No procurement procedure or evaluation basis is set out at this stage, so suppliers should treat the contract arrangements as preliminary and look for the subsequent competition notice for the detailed bidding requirements.

This work is suited to treasury advisory firms with experience supporting public bodies on treasury management strategy, policy and reporting. Relevant capabilities include advising on borrowing and investment choices, interpreting treasury markets and economic and sector developments, and undertaking fair value calculations when needed. Suppliers should also be able to explain complex financial matters clearly and provide practical guidance and training to committee members and officers. The requirement combines recurring strategic and reporting advice with responsive input on financial decisions, so firms able to provide both ongoing counsel and specialist analysis are likely to be well placed. The Council is seeking an experienced advisory firm; suppliers can use the planning period to assess their public-sector treasury expertise and capacity to deliver the full service.
