This contract, awarded on 31st March 2025, will cover services related to the Housing Benefit Assurance Process and Pooling Housing Capital Receipts Return for four years, starting on 3rd June 2025 and ending on 31st December 2028, amounting to £160,000. Located in Tamworth, England with postal code B79 7BZ, the contract falls under the services category, with the procurement stage now complete and tagged as 'award'.

This awarded contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses engaged in accounting and auditing industries, particularly those capable of handling public sector financial assurance processes. While the tender has been awarded, similar future tenders may provide growth opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can meet the quality and capability requirements set out in frameworks like CCS RM6188. Larger firms with established reputations in financial and auditing services, similar to Grant Thornton, would find such tenders particularly well-suited for their business models.
