UK SBS BLOJEU-CR17043BEIS Reports on the Payments to Governments Regulations
Notice Description
The final date and time for the submission of bids is 14th April 2017 at 14:00 DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the CCS eSourcing Portal. The main objective of the research is to assess both the costs that are borne by the companies in scope, and the benefits that accrue to those same companies, their respective investors, and any civil society organisations that have a particular interest in this legislation. An emphasis should be placed on the value of the additional information provided in the reports, who is using this information and for what purpose. The research will contribute to an evidence base regarding how transparency in the extractives sector can help in promoting accountability and good governance and in turn, improving profitability by reducing investment risks. We expect that this research will provide a fair assessment of the costs that extractives companies face as well as offering more general insight into the costs of transparency across an entire sector. The EU will be reviewing Chapter 10 of the Accounting Directive in 2018 and the information gained within this review may contribute to the wider work. In addition we would like interviewees to consider whether any further reporting in this area may be beneficial and why e.g. Commodity trading. Please ensure you review all attached information to ensure a full understanding of this requirement. All attachments can be found with the RFx attachments tab within the Emptoris System. This contract will be awarded based on the evaluation criteria set out in the ITQ document.
