## Summary

Sheffield City Council is conducting a procurement process for the "Provision of Launchpad Project VAT Threshold Masterclasses and Support." This service falls within the financial and insurance services industry, designed to assist small businesses nearing the VAT threshold of £85,000. The tender is currently in the Award stage, with the tender period having closed on 3rd November 2017. The contract will run from 26th November 2017 to 31st March 2018 and has a total value of £50,000. The service is to be delivered in Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for organisations that specialise in financial consulting, VAT training, and support services aimed at small businesses.

Engaging in this project could help businesses expand their service offerings while directly contributing to the growth of early-stage enterprises within the region.

## Notice

There is a perceived barrier to achieving and surpassing the VAT threshold of PS85,000 for some early stage and smaller businesses that are close to that level of turnover. We are looking for an organisation that would support a cohort of businesses whose turnover is currently less than PS85,000 but are close to the threshold to do two things:(1.) Masterclasses covering all aspects of VAT in relation to becoming VAT registered. Demistifying the quirky rules surrounding VAT. Provide businesses with knowledge about the obligations, thresholds and when to register, compulsory or voluntary registration and flat rate versus cash accounting schemes. (2.) Followed by one to one growth business support for those businesses who are close to the VAT threshold. Working with the business to grow it significantly enough to surpass the threshold amount of PS85,000 so that the businesses profit is not affected negatively.
