## Summary

The procurement process involves the UK Shared Business Services Limited (UK SBS) as the buying organisation, seeking an Independent Administrator for the UK Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI). The contract is categorised under administration services and is located in the United Kingdom. Currently, the procurement stage is in the Award phase, with key dates including the extension of the contract from 16th June 2022 to 15th August 2022. The overall contract value, which includes previous variations, totals £518,048.78, with the extension not exceeding £105,000. This tender was sourced under a limited procurement method, specifically negotiated without a contract notice due to technical reasons related to the original supplier.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy and administration services, particularly those with experience in governance and transparency initiatives within the extractive industries. Companies that align with the standards of the EITI, focusing on good governance and ethical practices, would be well-suited to compete for future contracts, especially as the current provider, BDO LLP, is likely to be reassessed in an upcoming retender exercise through the Research & Insights Dynamic Purchasing System. Engaging in this sector can help businesses establish a foothold in a growing market that promotes responsible investment in natural resources.

## Notice

The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) is the global standard for good governance in the oil, gas and mineral sectors. It is active in 56 countries worldwide and is an influential voice in shaping the future of these sectors. With senior engagement from government, industry and civil society at an international level, it provides a unique tool to champion good governance of natural resources globally and further the UK's strategic objectives. The work of EITI is beneficial for the UK because it encourages open, transparent practices here and overseas, thus helping to create good investment environments. This VEAT notice has been published to declare that the original contract which began in June 2019 has been extended to ensure that all additional final deliverables are supplied by BDO LLP to BEIS. The Contract is extended from 16th June 2022 - 15th August 2022 to ensure that the work carried out by the contractor (BDO LLP) is completed and published in June/July - specifically the UK EITI Payments Data Report and associated data files, covering payments in 2021. This variation will take effect from 16th June, 2022. The value of this extension shall not exceed PS105,000.00. The total value of the contract, including previous variations, is therefore PS518,048.78.
