## Summary

The Cornwall Council is initiating a tender for the "Council Tax Single Person Discount Audit," focusing on financial consultancy services within the public sector in the South West of England. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a key milestone—engagement end date—set for 23rd February 2018. This audit is critical for reviewing and monitoring current single person discounts on Council Tax accounts, with a budget of £50,000. Interested parties are encouraged to contact the council via email to express their interest.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in financial and tax consultancy, particularly those with experience in auditing services. Companies that can provide comprehensive risk assessments and ongoing monitoring of tax entitlements would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Engaging with Cornwall Council could also lead to further collaborative opportunities within the public sector, contributing to business growth and reputation enhancement.

## Notice

Cornwall last reviewed all single person discounts on Council Tax accounts in 2012. Between that review and the present has used the annual NAFN reports to identify discounts with mis-matches against electoral registration data. The Council now wishes to put in place a new arrangement. The service required is for:- 1. A full risk based review of all current single person discounts with accounts falling within agreed risk categories being reported to the council for investigation. 2. Ongoing monitoring using clear evidence based alerts to inform of changes in entitlement on a monthly basis. The Council is interested in meeting with organisations who can provide such a service and would invite anyone interested to email shinde@cornwall.gov.uk. The route by which this work will be procured is currently uncertain and may be via Bloom, existing frameworks or a standalone tender.
