## Summary

The Board of Trustees of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, located in Kew Green, United Kingdom, has completed the procurement process titled "RBGKEW1450 Tax services," targeting the services industry category. This tender involved VAT advice and an annual review of Kew's tax position, among other specialised tax consultancy services. The procurement method was classified as limited competition, below the threshold, reflecting a more selective approach. The contract was awarded on 26th September 2025, with the services commencing on 1st October 2025 and running until 30th September 2028, with a possible one-year extension. This project covered a wide geographic scope across various regions in the United Kingdom, indicating its expansive reach within the central government's public authority sector.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in tax advisory and consultancy, particularly those offering comprehensive services that cover compliance, audits, and specialised advice on employment taxes and international employee arrangements. Large-scale consultancy firms with the capacity to handle extensive tax service contracts, such as Saffery LLP, which was awarded this contract, would be well-positioned to capitalise on similar opportunities in the sector. The selective, limited competition nature of this tender suggests that firms with specific expertise and proven track records in government contracting have an edge in successfully securing such projects. Moreover, the potential for contract extension introduces further avenues for sustained business growth.
