UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of East Anglia procured tax consulting and compliance services in China to support its transnational education activities. The requirement covers local tax compliance, tax consultancy, preparation of tax returns, and related business and management consultancy. It is a professional services requirement for suppliers able to advise on and carry out tax compliance connected with education activity operating across national borders. The contracting organisation is the University of East Anglia, based at Norwich Research Park in Norwich. The recorded delivery address is in the United Kingdom, while the service scope specifically concerns tax matters in China. The procurement is a single service requirement rather than a programme divided into multiple service areas.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. The contract was signed on 17 July 2026 and runs from 18 July 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its gross value is £55,440. The award is recorded as active and the contract as active. The requirement was evaluated and awarded as a services contract covering one lot. This outcome indicates that the University selected a large professional-services firm to provide the specified China tax consulting, tax-return preparation and compliance support. The arrangement is governed by the Procurement Act 2023.

This procurement demonstrates demand from the University of East Anglia for specialist China tax support linked to transnational education. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need practical capability in local Chinese tax compliance, tax consultancy and preparation of tax returns, together with the ability to advise an organisation operating across borders. Credibility would also depend on delivering reliable, ongoing compliance support rather than one-off general advice, and on understanding how education activities are structured and taxed internationally. Firms combining China tax expertise with broader business and management consultancy capability would be particularly relevant. The selected supplier was a large professional-services partnership, indicating that established firms with specialist technical teams, cross-border resources and capacity to support an institutional client are the closest comparator.
