Opportunity to supply Rating, Council Tax Maximisation and Consultancy Services for the London Borough of Harrow (the Authority):

The Authority is seeking expressions of interest for a service provider to deliver specialist rating, council tax, and consulting services for the London Borough of Harrow. The contract would commence from 1st April 2025 for a period of up to three years.

Funding to be claimed and received from the GLA regarding taxbase maximisation work must be a minimum of 40% of £25,000 or £9,000, (whichever is the lowest).

The total number of days consultancy to be provided by the service contractor annually must not be less than 50 days.
