Located in the United Kingdom, this project focuses on advancing Council Tax reforms and the Government Review of Business Rates. The contract, under the framework agreement RM6187, Lot 3, was awarded to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) for £42,000. The contract commenced on 13 November 2024 and will conclude on 17 January 2025. This procurement process followed a selective method involving a call-off from a framework agreement, and it is now in the award stage as of 31 October 2024. This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in systems analysis and programming, particularly those with expertise in governmental and financial systems. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with innovative solutions for technology platform transformation and council tax reforms would be well-suited to participate in similar future tenders. The collaboration between VOA, HMRC CDIO, and external suppliers like PwC indicates a robust demand for professional services that can efficiently manage complex transformation projects within the public sector. ## Notice Awarded contract - this means that the contract has been awarded to a supplier and is being published for transparency purposes only. The VOA has a substantial transformation portfolio, which includes an overhaul of the Agency's technology platform, delivering on the Government Review of Business Rates and supporting the reform of Council Tax in Wales. The VOA is looking to reshape how it delivers this change (ranging from systems maintenance and improvement to more substantial transformation) relating to Council Tax once the new platform has been delivered, where there is a clear rational for aligning these activities under a single structure to ensure the most efficient design and build. Recognising that there are different delivery options, VOA is seeking the support from an external Supplier to identify the optimal way to bring together these elements to form a single portfolio, which will manage the single roadmap for CT transformation. This will be completed as a standalone project, and it will be staffed with resource from VOA, HMRC CDIO and supported by the chosen supplier Additional information: Further Competition Activity Undertaken via Management Consultancy 3 (MCF 3) Framework Agreement RM6187, Lot 3 (Complex & Transformation) ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/86efcbf8-2aed-41ab-89c4-da546ade65bb | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Nov 2024 | | Submission deadline | 18 Oct 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 31 Oct 2024 | | Contract period | 13 Nov 2024 - 17 Jan 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £42,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £42,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | VALUATION OFFICE AGENCY | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | East London | | Postcode | E14 4PU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI42 Tower Hamlets | | Local authority | Tower Hamlets | | Electoral ward | Canary Wharf | | Westminster constituency | Poplar and Limehouse | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP (PWC | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72240000 - Systems analysis and programming services ## Release History - 21 Nov 2024 at 13:04 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/86efcbf8-2aed-41ab-89c4-da546ade65bb ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/86efcbf8-2aed-41ab-89c4-da546ade65bb 21st November 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/6bb99da1-1bc0-4ebd-8189-559d48ad7294 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
