## Summary

Kent Fire & Rescue Service has completed the procurement process for the contract titled "C26006 - Business Rates," focused on construction consultancy services within the services category. This procurement was executed using a direct award to Avison Young via the Fusion21 framework under Lot 12, specifically for business rates advice and liability mitigation services related to the 2026 rating revaluation. The contract, valued at between £0.01 and £49,999, commences on 1st April 2026 and will run until 31st March 2029, covering the region of UKJ45 in the United Kingdom. This was an award procedure without prior publication, classified outside the scope of the directive.

Companies that specialize in financial and legal advisory, especially in the context of public sector clients, may find this an area of growth, given the continued demand for such services within regional or local authorities.
