Treasury Services Framework
Framework Description
The Treasury Services Framework from the National Framework Partnership (NFP) gives public sector organisations access to treasury advisers through a ranked list of appointed suppliers. Procured under the Public Contracts Regulations, it runs from 15 November 2024 to 14 November 2028. Clients use direct selection or mini-competition. Applications for the ranked list are closed for the full term.
Context & Use Case
Councils and other public bodies with cash balances, borrowing or investments use it for advice on cash management, investment strategy, debt management and financial risk. A typical call-off might be an ongoing treasury advisory service supporting annual strategy and reporting, or one-off advice on a single borrowing or investment decision.
Scope of Services
Cash flow and liquidity management Investment strategy Debt management Financial risk assessment and management Financial planning and regulatory compliance advice

Who Can Apply
Suits treasury management advisers with a public sector client base. Applications for the ranked list are closed, so firms not appointed cannot join until the framework is re-tendered, likely around November 2028.
Buyer Benefits
Treasury decisions directly affect a public body's revenue budget, so buyers want specialist advice they can rely on and commission quickly. The ranked list supports a straightforward direct award, while mini-competitions let buyers test fees and approach for larger appointments.
Next Steps
Appointed advisers should present clear evidence of investment returns and risk management for clients considering direct selection. Others should prepare for the re-tender before 14 November 2028: build public sector treasury case studies and team credentials, and follow the NFP framework page and Find a Tender for the notice.
