Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process relates to the provision of tax advice for the formation of a wholly owned company, awarded to Grant Thornton UK LLP by Stevenage Borough Council, based in England. The tender was categorised under financial consultancy services with a contract value of £50,000, procured through a direct method as a single tender action (below threshold). The contract period spans from 16th May 2018 to 30th October 2019, while the official award notification was published on 16th July 2019.

This tender offers significant opportunities for growth for consultancies and professional service firms specialising in financial and tax advisory services. Businesses that possess the capability to deliver expert financial consulting within local government frameworks and have experience in forming corporate structures would be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts. Smaller enterprises might find it challenging due to the nature of the contract, which has been awarded directly to a large firm.
