UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NILGOSC, the Northern Ireland Local Government Officers’ Superannuation Committee, intends to procure tax advisory services for its investment portfolio. The work covers advice across asset classes, including tax compliance, global tax agency requirements, tax forms, available global tax exemptions and reliefs, and tax reviews of new investments. Advice may also be needed for additional asset classes following future strategic reviews. This is a specialist professional services requirement for a supplier able to support an institutional investment portfolio across international tax matters. NILGOSC is the buyer, with Northern Ireland’s central procurement team managing the process. The work will support NILGOSC’s investment activities; no specific delivery location is stated.

The procurement is at the planning stage: NILGOSC has stated its intention to buy the services, but has not yet invited tenders. The buyer expects to use an open procedure, with a planned follow-on notice on 4 November 2026. The estimated overall value is £1.5 million excluding VAT (£1.8 million including VAT); the buyer says this reflects potential extensions and optional services and does not guarantee a level of business. The planned initial contract period runs from 13 June 2027 to 12 June 2032, with two possible extensions of up to 12 months each, subject to review and satisfactory performance. The buyer expects the contract award decision by 29 January 2027. There is one lot. Economic and technical selection criteria are expected to be set out in the tender documents.

This will suit tax advisory firms with the capacity to provide continuing portfolio-wide support and expertise spanning international tax compliance, tax agency processes, tax documentation, cross-border exemptions and reliefs, and tax analysis of prospective investments. Providers should be able to advise across multiple asset classes and adapt their work if NILGOSC’s strategic reviews lead to additional asset classes being included. The requirement combines recurring advisory and compliance support with investment-specific reviews, so firms able to deliver both ongoing services and responsive specialist advice are likely to be well placed. The buyer indicates that economic and technical selection requirements will be detailed when the tender documentation is issued. Suppliers can use the planning period to assess the breadth of their relevant expertise and delivery capacity ahead of the competition.
