## Summary

Norfolk County Council has completed a selective procurement process and awarded a contract for tax consultancy services entitled "Further Competition to provide Rating Services." The award was formalised on 8th July 2026. The engagement involves managing the Council's business rates and council tax arrangements, ensuring accurate valuations and timely payments, and advising on potential savings. The contract spans from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2031. This is a service tender under the CPV code 79221000 and covers a broad regional scope, including the United Kingdom and various British overseas territories. The process employed a restricted procedure, indicative of a selective procurement method.

The tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for firms with expertise in tax consultancy and business rate management. Companies equipped to deliver valuation accuracy, handle payment logistics, and navigate potential savings strategies would be ideally positioned to benefit from such contracts. While the contract specifically requires large-scale service provision, smaller and voluntary community sector enterprises were not targeted for this opportunity, indicating the scale and complexity suited for more established or specialised firms.

## Notice

Full details about the requirement are contained within the attached Scope.
