## Summary

The procurement process for the "Advanced External Customs Training" contract was conducted by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) located in Salford, England. The process falls under the services category, specifically focused on education and training services, with a total contract value of £37,860. The procurement method employed was a direct single tender action below the threshold. The tender period ended on 22 December 2020, and the contract is effective from 1 January 2021 until 31 March 2022.

This tender presents an opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in training services, particularly in customs and international trade, to engage with a prominent government buyer. Businesses that can deliver high-standard training programmes tailored to the needs of international tax specialists could significantly benefit from this contract. The ability to demonstrate expertise and previous experience in delivering similar training will be crucial for potential competitors.

## Notice

This is a small requirement for supplementary training for some of HMRC's international tax specialists. We do not have the internal capability to deliver this training, particularly to the internationally recognised standard we would be looking for.
