UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Council is seeking a financial and tax services provider for Thailand tax outsourcing. The main purpose is to support the British Council’s external reporting and tax compliance obligations. The requirement covers financial services, including financial administration and corporate finance-related support. Delivery is in Singapore, although the procurement title identifies Thailand as the tax jurisdiction concerned. This is a single-service requirement and is classified as a services contract. It may suit firms that provide outsourced tax compliance and reporting support across borders, particularly those able to coordinate work relating to Thailand while delivering services in Singapore. The British Council is the buying organisation.

The procurement has reached tender: the British Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Suppliers were required to submit offers by 18 September 2026 at 18:59 UTC, with electronic submission allowed. The contract is scheduled to run from 26 October 2026 to 25 October 2029. Its estimated value is £48,000 excluding VAT and £60,000 including VAT. There is one lot, with an evaluation weighting of 60% for quality and 40% for cost. The quality response requires completion of Annex 2, while the cost response requires completion of Annex 3. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This opportunity suits specialist tax outsourcing providers, accountancy firms and financial services businesses with the capability to deliver external reporting and tax compliance support. Strong candidates are likely to understand Thailand’s tax requirements and be able to provide coordinated services from or into Singapore, where delivery is required. Suppliers need to address the quality requirements in Annex 2 and provide pricing in Annex 3, so they should be able to produce a clear, compliant technical response as well as a competitive commercial offer. The 60% quality weighting favours demonstrable service capability and reliable delivery, while the 40% cost weighting rewards efficient pricing. Small and medium-sized businesses are expressly considered suitable.
