Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured tax consultancy services covering tax advice and commentary on vires, meaning advice on the legal powers and authority relevant to the Trust’s activities. The requirement was awarded through the VVS MCF4 RM6309 framework. The buyer is based at Fretherne Road, Welwyn Garden City, and the listed delivery coverage includes the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The procurement classification is CPV 79221000, tax consultancy services. Although the procurement category is recorded as goods, the stated requirement is professional tax advice and commentary rather than the supply of physical goods.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to KPMG LLP on 19 May 2026. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The estimated value was between £40,000 and £70,000, while the awarded value was £49,900. The tender submission deadline was 1 April 2026 at 12:00. The contract period runs from 28 April 2026 to 28 April 2027. West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is the buyer. The award is active, and KPMG LLP is the selected supplier. The opportunity was not reserved for small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award indicates demand from West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust for specialist tax consultancy focused on advice and commentary concerning vires. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need experienced tax advisers able to interpret the Trust’s legal powers, relate that analysis to NHS activities and provide clear, defensible written commentary. Experience advising NHS trusts or comparable public bodies would help demonstrate understanding of public-sector governance and financial decision-making. The route to market is a framework call-off, so relevant suppliers would also need access to an appropriate framework and the capacity to deliver discrete advisory work for a large public-sector organisation across the stated geographic scope.
