## Summary

The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Cleveland has completed the procurement process for a Business Rates Advisor under a direct procurement method below the threshold, without competition. The contract, valued at an estimated £40,000, aims to provide consultancy services for reviewing business rates across local authority-owned sites, with the award made to AVISON YOUNG (UK) LIMITED. Operating within the services category, this contract was signed on 1st April 2026 and runs until 31st July 2029, with a potential extension until 2030. This procurement was conducted under UK legislation 2023/54, with delivery covering regions UKC11 and UKC12 in the United Kingdom. Key dates include its publication on 22nd April 2026.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in business and management consultancy services to engage with sub-central governmental organisations. While AVISON YOUNG (UK) LIMITED was awarded the contract, businesses that focus on providing strategic advisory services related to public authority financial management, particularly those with experience in business rates reviews, stand a good chance in similar opportunities. Such contracts enable firms to expand their portfolios and enhance their presence in the public sector consultancy market, while contributing to efficient local government fiscal operations.
