## Summary

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council has concluded the procurement process for the "Provision of professional financial services", classified under the financial management consultancy services category. The contract, valued at £60,000 gross, was awarded through a direct procurement method, which circumvents competition due to its below-threshold nature. Located in Bradford, United Kingdom, the procurement stage is complete following an award made on 18th December 2025 to Aughton Consulting. The contract covers services supporting the implementation of a financial services restructure aligned with CIPFA/DLUHC review recommendations, set to start from 18th December 2025 and end by 19th December 2025.
