Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for "Tax Support Services 2024" was conducted by the Post Office, which awarded the contract to KPMG LLP. This process falls under the category of tax consultancy services, with delivery destined for London, specifically at postcode EC2V 7ER. Utilising a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement, the tender was completed in the Award stage, with all relevant activity concluded by 2025-06-25. The contract, valued at £579,600, spans from 15th October 2024 to 14th October 2027. The provision of these services includes employment taxes, corporation tax, VAT, and other indirect taxes, which exemplifies their critical importance to the public sector.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for large-scale businesses in the field of tax consultancy services, although neither SMEs nor VCSEs were deemed suitable.
