Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust is procuring VAT advice and support as a professional service. The work is for the Trust, based in Hull, with delivery at the service location associated with postcode HU10 6FE. The requirement concerns specialist business and professional support rather than the supply of goods, construction or operational works. It is relevant to firms providing VAT compliance advice, transaction support, tax interpretation and related assistance to NHS or other public-sector organisations. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The selected supplier is EY, a large professional services firm.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 31 August 2026 at 23:59. The estimated value was between £113,000 and £135,000, excluding any applicable assumptions in the procurement documents. EY was awarded the contract on 14 August 2026 for £131,000. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2030. The award was based on the requirements and evaluation arrangements established for the framework call-off. This is a single awarded requirement, rather than a procurement divided into separately awarded lots.

Although this contract has been awarded, it demonstrates sustained demand from Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust for specialist VAT advice and support over a substantial service period. A competitor targeting a future requirement from this buyer would need a strong VAT advisory practice, the ability to provide responsive ongoing support, and a clear understanding of NHS finance, purchasing and tax issues. Credibility would also depend on delivering professional services at the scale expected of an established public-sector framework supplier, while meeting framework call-off procedures and the buyer’s evaluation requirements. Smaller firms and VCSEs were considered suitable to participate, so a capable specialist could compete directly or contribute through a framework team or partnership.
