Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk County Council has completed a procurement process titled "Norfolk LGR implementation VAT and Employment Tax arrangements support," focusing on financial consultancy services within the realm of VAT and employment tax. The contract, valued at £32,000, commenced on 13th April 2026 and will conclude on 31st March 2028. This procurement, conducted through a direct method below the competition threshold, is categorised under services and finalised the award stage on 16th July 2026. Situated in Norwich, UK, at the Norfolk County Council's premises, this process underpins a strategic public authority investment aimed at bolstering their fiscal and tax consultancy framework.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specializing in financial consultancy, particularly those with expertise in VAT and employment tax. Companies equipped with robust capabilities in governmental financial advisory services will find this contract aligns with their expertise. While it was directly awarded to Lavat Consulting Limited, similar future opportunities could allow small to medium-sized enterprises and financial consultancies to engage with public sector projects, aiding them in expanding their service contract portfolio and gaining exposure to regional government operations.
