Summary of the contracting process

The West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust has completed an award process for the "WHTHT - VAT 2nd Pass Review 2025," which falls under the tax consultancy services category (CPV code 79221000). This project was executed through a selective procurement method, specifically as a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement process reached the award stage on 30th September 2025, after an active status was confirmed on 25th March 2025. The contract, valued at £150,000, began on 1st April 2025 and is scheduled to end on 31st March 2028. The services will be delivered in the East of England, United Kingdom, with the postal code area WD18 0HB marking the specific delivery location.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for firms specialising in tax consultancy. Given the nature of the service and the tender value, the project is ideal for enterprises with expertise in VAT analysis and reconciliation, particularly those with experience in healthcare contexts. The call-off framework method suggests a pre-existing pool of suitable providers, yet the substantial contract value and prolonged period may appeal to well-established consultancies. Entities seeking to expand their portfolio in the public sector, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, can find this contract beneficial, though the suitability section notes that SMEs were not specifically prioritised in this process.
