## Summary

The procurement process titled "PR19 - Taxation" is initiated by the Water Services Regulation Authority, based in Birmingham, England. This procurement falls under the industry category of business and management consultancy services. The tender period ended on 16th November 2016, with the contract period spanning from 29th November 2016 to 31st March 2017. The procurement method is classified as 'Other', and the current stage is complete, with an award made to Deloitte LLP for a contract valued at £74,287, active as of 28th November 2016.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on regulatory consultancy, particularly those with expertise in taxation and its implications for regulated companies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a deep understanding of the regulatory frameworks and relevant tax legislation could find this a fruitful area for competition. The requirement for proposals that align with Ofwat’s objectives highlights the necessity for innovative and straightforward solutions, making it essential for prospective bidders to demonstrate both technical expertise and a capacity to devise compliant methodologies.

## Notice

We are in the process of developing our methodology for PR19. We plan to consult on our methodology in July 2017. To aid us in developing that methodology we are seeking advice and recommendations from the Contractors on the basis on which we should/could calculate future corporation tax allowances for regulated companies and the design and implementation of that future policy. The proposals for any changes to our methodology should demonstrate how they achieve Ofwat's objectives that they are in the best interests of customers. The proposals should also be straight forward to implement and the approach should be proportionate and consistent with the rest of the regulatory framework and should not place a disproportionate burden on companies. We have set out below a number of key questions that we think that the Contractor should consider however we would also welcome further suggestions from the Contractor as to any other issues that should be considered as part of this work. In undertaking this work the Contractor will need to have an understanding of both the regulatory regime in which Ofwat operates and a detailed knowledge of both existing tax legislation and proposed changes to it. The Contractor will therefore need to demonstrate that they can provide relevant expertise in both areas from within their own organisation or by partnering with an appropriately qualified third party.
