## Summary

H M Revenue & Customs has completed a procurement process for expert witness services, specifically legal advisory services, under the CPV classification code 79100000. The process was managed via a Direct Award method and is classified as "Other" procurement. The contract, valued at £150,000 GBP, has a start date of 6th March 2025 and will run until 5th September 2025. This process is designed to aid the Tribunal in determining correct tax treatments under US tax law for a special dividend, with services being delivered in the United States. The buying organisation is headquartered at Trinity Bridge House, Salford, England, with key contact Hazikah Ahmed.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in legal services, particularly those with expertise in US tax law.

This procurement could help firms establish or strengthen transatlantic business relationships and enhance their professional credentials.
