This tender provides significant business opportunities, particularly for financial consultancy firms equipped to handle VAT-related reviews. While the project was not specifically marked for SMEs or VCSEs, it could still represent growth potential for such businesses that can offer competitive and high-quality consultancy services within the financial sector. The awarded supplier, CRS VAT Consulting Limited, may serve as an example of the type of smaller consultancy capable of succeeding in this domain, indicating that businesses with specialisation in VAT consultancy could also be well-placed to compete for similar procurements in the future.
