## Summary

Cherwell District Council commissioned financial consultancy services for its Heyford Programme. The requirement was procured as a single service lot and is described as a financial request-for-proposals process. The work is categorised as financial consultancy (CPV 66171000). The stated delivery location is the United Kingdom; no more specific place is identified. The procurement was managed by the council, which is the buyer. The contract concerns financial advice and consultancy in support of the Heyford Programme, rather than the supply of goods or construction works.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Aspinall Verdi Limited. The council used a below-threshold quotation process; the method is recorded as below threshold, with no more specific procedure detail. One lot was awarded. The contract was signed on 9 September 2026 and runs from 14 September to 20 December 2026. Its value is £23,280.78 excluding VAT (£27,936.93 including VAT). The award is active and the contract is active. The published evaluation basis and eligibility requirements are not set out in the process information.

This award shows demand from Cherwell District Council for specialist financial consultancy supporting its Heyford Programme, delivered through a below-threshold quotation route. Aspinall Verdi Limited, a small and medium-sized enterprise, was selected, demonstrating that this requirement was delivered by an SME rather than necessarily requiring a large consultancy. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable requirement from this buyer would need credible financial consultancy expertise and the ability to support a programme-specific engagement on a relatively focused scale. The scope described is financial consultancy; the information available does not identify particular professional accreditations, technical methods or minimum staffing requirements, so these should not be assumed to have been decisive.
