## Summary

The Arts Council of England is procuring tax advisory services for its activities in Manchester and across the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The requirement is classified as tax consultancy services and covers professional advice on taxation. It is a services procurement led by the Arts Council of England, based at The Hive, 47 Lever Street, Manchester. The broad delivery geography means the work may involve advice relating to more than one jurisdiction and support for the organisation’s activities beyond the UK. The requirement is relevant to tax consultancies and professional advisory firms able to provide ongoing tax advice across this geographical scope.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. The tender submission deadline was 13 January 2025, and the contract was awarded on 28 February 2025 to RSM Tax and Advisory Services LLP. The awarded value is £22,300, and the contract runs from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2029. The tender’s stated estimated value was also £22,300. The process used a tender procedure, with the procurement method described as “Not specified”. The contract is for services and is recorded as a single tax advisory requirement. The procurement was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active and the tender status is complete.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for tax advisory support from the Arts Council of England, delivered over a multi-year period and covering the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable tax consultancy capability, sufficient professional capacity for continuing advice, and the ability to support an organisation whose activities may span several jurisdictions. The selected supplier is a large tax and advisory firm, indicating that scale and established delivery capability were relevant to the outcome. Firms considering comparable work should be able to provide dependable advisory coverage across the stated geography and manage an ongoing public-sector client relationship.
