## Summary

Birmingham City Council has awarded a contract for the provision of operational and strategic taxation advice, valued at £1,800,000, under the procurement category of financial consultancy services. The contract was secured through a selective procurement method as part of the Crown Commercial Services Management Consultancy 4 Framework Agreement (RM6309). The tender process included further competition under Lot 4 - Finance. This contract pertains to services required in the West Midlands, United Kingdom, and spans from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2030. The award date was 17th February 2026, marking the commencement of the awarded stage.

This procurement creates significant business growth opportunities for firms specialising in taxation and financial consultancy. The council sought specialised technical, financial, and commercial skills that are not available in-house, providing a comprehensive scope for operational and strategic consultation. Businesses that are small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited for this tender, given the suitability criteria, which excludes voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has been named as the successful supplier, indicating that larger firms with robust expertise in taxation advisory are well-positioned for competition in this arena.

## Notice

specialist technical, financial and commercial skills around taxation matters as these skills do not exist in house. These skills are essential to minimise financial, reputational and legal risks to the Council arising from this complex area of activity. The contract will be wide ranging, providing both procedural and compliance advice along with more strategic advice, for example in relation to the identification and implication of taxation issues arising from proposed new service delivery models. This was a further competition under 3.3 Crown Commercial Services Management Consultancy 4 Framework Agreement (RM6309) - Lot 4 - Finance
