## Summary

The procurement process concerns an Independent Review Service contracted by H M Revenue & Customs (HMRC) for business analysis consultancy services, with a total contract value of £50,000. This contract was awarded through a direct procurement method, under a single tender action below the threshold. The contract period commenced on 21 September 2020 and concluded on 20 December 2020, with the award date officially recorded as 21 September 2020. The service was delivered from HMRC's office located at 100 Parliament Street, Westminster, London.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in consultancy services, particularly those with experience in business analysis. Given that the procurement method was direct and the contract was awarded to McKinsey & Company Inc United Kingdom, similar firms with proven expertise in providing high-quality consultancy could position themselves to compete for future tenders released by HMRC or other government departments. SMEs that can demonstrate innovative approaches and solid past performance in consulting services will likely find a conducive environment for business growth within public procurement opportunities like this.
