UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Post Office Limited procured subscription access to online tax tools: a digital service providing advice, tax information, legislation updates and tools for tax professionals. The requirement is for access to the tools rather than tax consultancy or the delivery of a tax project. The service is intended to support tax-related work within the Post Office. The procurement is classified as a subscription service, and delivery is recorded as being in the United Kingdom. The buyer is Post Office Limited, a public undertaking. The requirement was organised as a single lot, covering the online tax tools subscription.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to CRONER-I LIMITED, which also signed the contract. Post Office Limited used a direct award below the procurement threshold without competition. The award is active and the contract runs from 30 September 2026 to 29 September 2029. Its stated value is £37,272 excluding VAT, or £44,726.40 including VAT. The award date is not provided in the published process data; the contract was signed on 30 September 2026. The requirement was handled as one lot. No evaluation criteria are recorded, consistent with the stated route of award without competition.

For suppliers seeking to serve Post Office Limited when this requirement returns to market, the evidence points to demand for a maintained online tax information and tools subscription, not a one-off advice engagement. A credible competitor would need to provide dependable access to practical tax guidance, current legislation updates and tools suited to tax professionals. The incumbent was a large supplier, indicating that the buyer selected an established provider for this subscription requirement; competitors should be ready to demonstrate the breadth, reliability and ongoing maintenance of their tax content and digital tools. The original purchase was made directly without competition, so suppliers should also understand that the awarded route did not test competing offers. The requirement is a single service covering UK delivery.
