Summary of the contracting process

The Lancashire Constabulary has successfully completed the award stage of a procurement process titled "Tax & VAT advice 2025". This procurement falls under the services category and leverages the ESPO Framework 664-21, LOT 2g, for tax consultancy, with PSTAX appointed as the supplier. The contract, valued at £32,180, spans from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2029 and is intended to benefit the North West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method utilised is selective and involves a call-off from a framework agreement, with the award announced on 6th March 2025.

This tender presents a significant business growth opportunity for firms specialising in tax and VAT consultancy, especially those familiar with public sector frameworks. Though this particular contract does not appear to target small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), it sets a precedent that large-scale consultancy firms can follow to secure similar opportunities. Companies with expertise in public procurement processes and those capable of providing extensive tax advisory services would be well-suited to compete for future contracts within this framework.
