Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process described involves the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) seeking a supplier to provide VAT services, along with associated training, under an open procedure. The contract falls under the financial and insurance services category, with a CPV code of 66000000. This award phase of the process commenced on 15 March 2025, with services scheduled to start on 1 April 2025 and conclude on 31 March 2028. The services will be delivered across regions, including the North West and London in the United Kingdom, with a total contract value of £37,000 GBP. Notably, the procurement process was characterised by an open procedure that targeted small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The awarded supplier is Liaison VAT Consultancy Limited.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs specialising in financial, legal, and accounting services. The open procedure methodology allows smaller enterprises to compete alongside larger firms, provided they can demonstrate the capability to meet the contract requirements. Businesses with expertise in VAT consultancy and training services, and a focus on the healthcare sector, would be especially well-suited to fulfil the contract terms effectively. Additionally, organisations with a presence or ability to operate within the specified UK regions stand to gain a competitive advantage in executing this contract successfully.
