## Summary

The Walsall Council e-Tendering has completed a procurement process for the project titled "WP3252 - Schools Leasing Review." This initiative falls under the accounting and auditing services category within the United Kingdom, specifically conducted in the West Midlands. The tender period concluded on 16th February 2017, and the contract was awarded on 13th April 2017, with a total contract value of £150,000. The contract is set to last from 1st March 2017 until 28th February 2020, following an open procurement method.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in accounting and auditing services, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies that can expertly conduct audits, manage lease agreements, and negotiate with financial service providers would be well-suited to compete. The successful contract awarded to Lease Advisory Service Ltd highlights the potential for businesses to engage in government contracts that require specialised knowledge and proactive financial management skills.

## Notice

The Council wishes to contract with a supplier that will undertake an urgent audit of funded schools to verify that any lease agreements can be strictly interpreted as operating leases only and where finance leases are identified and poor value is identified, the supplier will be required to deal direct with the finance companies for all identified cases to bring the agreements to an end (with no further cost to the education budget) by either having the agreement written off, and/or by pursuing a restitution claim against the finance company.
