COV - Business Rates Identification Service (quotation) - AWARD

The Council wishes to appoint a contractor from 1st May 2021 to help ensure that its business rates database is up-to-date and accurate, both in terms of the inclusion of relevant businesses and hereditaments, and that the appropriate rateable values are recorded for existing liabilities.

The council has in place internal processes for identifying business and hereditaments for business rates purposes, including a team of revenue inspectors. The contractor will be expected to provide information on business/hereditaments which are not, for whatever reason, held within the Council's current database and which should be held for the purpose of charging business rates.
