## Summary

The Department for Work and Pensions in the United Kingdom has completed a tender process for the provision of consultancy services focused on advising on IR35 tax issues. This tender, categorised under human resources management consultancy services, had a contract value of £320,000. The contract period was active from 10 February 2020 until 28 August 2020. The procurement method used was selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender period ending on 15 January 2020, prior to the award of the contract.

This completed procurement process presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in human resources consultancy, particularly for those experienced in tax advisory services. Firms with expertise in IR35 regulations and compliance will find themselves well-suited to engage in future tenders of a similar nature. The involvement of a large consulting firm, Deloitte LLP, as the awarded supplier highlights the competitive landscape and sets a benchmark for service providers aiming to participate in governmental contracts.
