## Summary

The London Borough of Brent plans to procure an integrated National Non-Domestic Rates (NNDR) service. The appointed supplier will deliver the Council’s business-rates service in accordance with statutory requirements, combining financial administration with associated business services. This is a specialist public-sector revenues and business-rates requirement rather than a general financial-services contract. The work will be delivered for Brent Council in Wembley, within the London Borough of Brent. The procurement is classified as a services contract, with related classification covering financial and insurance services and business services such as consulting and legal support. Suppliers whose systems, processes and staff can manage end-to-end NNDR operations for a local authority should regard this as relevant. The planned contract is presented as a single service requirement rather than separate lots.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Brent Council has stated its intention to appoint a supplier but has not yet invited tenders. The Council expects to hold an online market-engagement event on 9 October 2026, with expressions of interest for attendance due by 8 October 2026. The expected tender publication is October 2026, followed by anticipated contract award in May 2027. The estimated initial term is three years, with options to extend by two years and a further two years; the planned contract period runs from 1 May 2027 to 30 March 2030, with a maximum end date of 30 April 2034. The description estimates £1.5 million excluding VAT for three years and £3.45 million including extensions. The record also gives £345,000 excluding VAT and £4.14 million including VAT as tender values.

The work is likely to suit suppliers with established expertise in local-authority revenues, NNDR assessment and collection, statutory business-rates administration, and the systems needed to integrate these activities into a single managed service. Experience of delivering compliant services for councils, maintaining accurate ratepayer records, handling billing and related financial processes, and supporting statutory reporting would be directly relevant. Providers should be able to demonstrate dependable operational capacity over a long-running public service contract, with suitable governance, data management, customer-service and business-continuity arrangements. The buyer has indicated that the requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises, so specialist firms and collaborative delivery teams may be able to prepare for the future competition. The immediate focus for interested suppliers is market engagement and preparation, not submitting a tender now.
