Award of contract to Inform CPI Ltd for Rateable Value Finder, National Non Domestic Rates Appeals Forecasting and Council Tax Finder

Decision Maker: Head of Financial Services

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

These services allow searches for rateable hereditaments which are currently not included in the Council’s records, or where there is the potential for the rateable value entered in the valuation list to be incorrect.  They also provide assistance in finding properties which should be banded for Council Tax purposes, or where there is the potential for an existing banding to be incorrect.  This enables the Council to collect money owed.

Decision:

To approve the award of a contract to Inform CPI Ltd to provide the above services following a compliant open tender process.

Reasons for the decision:

The decision to award the contract has been taken following a compliant open tender process.  Three bids were received, and the winning supplier was identified as a result of a full and detailed evaluation process.

Alternative options considered:

The option to not award a contract would mean these services could not be delivered.  This would impact on the Council’s ability to collect money owed.

Signed off by senior officers:

Decision taken by Nigel Kennedy, Head of Financial Services in consultation with Susan Sale, Head of Law and Governance.
