Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Mint has completed its procurement process for the provision of Corporate Tax Compliance and Related Services, with Deloitte as the awarded supplier. The tender, identified by the code "57427", was conducted under a selective procurement procedure described as a competitive flexible process. The contracting occurred in the services category, focusing on tax-return preparation services and tax consultancy services. The procurement, above threshold and covered by the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA), took place in the United Kingdom, specifically in the region of Llantrisant, Pontyclun, UKL15. With key stages outlined, the award decision date occurred on 27th March 2026, with the contract period scheduled to start on 13th April 2026, potentially extending until 12th April 2031, including renewal options.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in tax compliance services, particularly those with capabilities in consultancy and tax-return preparation. Companies already established in the UK or looking to enter the UK market could find substantial business growth by engaging with such public authority contracts. Although a large enterprise like Deloitte won the bid, the selection process encourages competition among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), evidenced by the participation of SMEs in the final bid stage. Thus, firms with expertise in tax matters and strategic procurement capabilities could position themselves competitively in similar future tenders by central government authorities such as The Royal Mint.
