Description

Each District and Borough Council within Staffordshire will conduct reviews of all Council Tax reductions which are relevant to the occupancy of a property and those residents.  
This will typically include;
•	All single person discounts
•	All other Council Tax discounts, which are dependant upon numbers or categories of occupiers.
•	All empty properties, including long term voids, which do not attract a reduction, or which attract premium charges.
•	All Local Council Tax Reduction (LCTR) cases, in so far as the residents occupying the household will be reviewed.  Income, capital, etc will not be reviewed as a part of this project.
The Councils require the Contractor to perform a data-matching exercise, investigate any mismatches, update the Councils' systems with the results of the investigations and deal with any subsequent Council Tax payer contact.

Investment Strategy Modelling

Following the outcome of the government's 'Fit for Future' consultation, LGPS Partner Funds are required to take their primary advice on strategic asset allocation from their chosen asset pool (LGPS Central Limited being one of those asset pools). Partner Funds' pension liabilities under membership of the LGPS are defined benefit in nature. By this, we mean that pension promises are made to members, and Partner Funds set aside large pools of assets held collectively, and in order to meet those pension promises. Strategic asset allocation decisions therefore require some consideration of those liabilities, including the impact on contributions requirements (to cover both ongoing accrual of benefits and any asset shortfall which may have arisen), as well as the likely investment returns (and uncertainty thereof) from the assets held. A robust, good quality investment strategy modelling capability is therefore required to support the delivery of tailored strategic advice to Partner Funds. This requirement stems from the complexity of investment strategy decisions, the need for regulated and evidence-based advice, and the expectation of future-proofing capabilities such as scenario modelling and whole-of-fund management.

Endowment Fund & Patients Private Funds Audit

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde Healthcare Charity (formally known as the NHSGGC Endowment Fund) is a charity registered with OSCR (SC005895) comprising in excess of 1700 restricted/unrestricted individual funds for the benefit of patients and staff. Charitable Endowment Funds: Endowment funds are defined as money or property donated to the Health Board and held in trust for such purposes relating to services provided under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978 or in relation to hospitals, or to the functions of the Board with respect to research, as the Board may think fit. Funds are used for equipment, patients’ comforts and amenities, research, and training together with the provision of extra facilities and opportunities not available from government funding. The Boards Endowment Fund had total net assets of GBP103.6m as of 31st March 2025 and expenditure amounted to GBP14.1m. Patients Private Funds: NHSGGC administers GBP2.5 million Patients’ Private Funds (PPF) on behalf of around 500 of its patients. Many of these patients are incapable of managing their own affairs, and are covered by the Adults with Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000, but others choose to use the service voluntarily because of the convenience, or because infirmity or frailness makes the use of normal banking arrangements impractical. The Board is responsible for ensuring proper accounting records are maintained, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the PPF and for safeguarding the assets held on behalf of the patients, including taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. Both the Charitable Endowment Funds and the PPF are required to be independently audited in accordance with approved auditing standards. Consequently NHSGGC is required to conduct a regulated procurement exercise to appoint a regulated independent auditor that will provide this service.
