The procurement is classified under the economic affairs category and is based in Glasgow, UK. This notice serves as a voluntary ex ante transparency (VEAT) notification, indicating that significant prior work has been conducted by EY and that the renewal is critical for timely completion of essential outputs by the financial year’s end. A new tender process to establish a longer-term contract will be initiated by 1st April 2020. This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in tax consultancy services, particularly those with a strong track record of supporting government entities or large corporations. Given the limited procurement method, businesses that can quickly mobilise resources and demonstrate comprehensive knowledge in tax law and advisory roles will be well-positioned to compete. This is ideal for established firms with relevant experience and a capability to deliver tailored tax solutions in a timely manner. ## Notice This is a voluntary ex ante transparency (VEAT) notice. This notice is to indicate that Scottish Enterprise (SE) intends to contract with Ernst + Young for a 3 month period as a short extension to the current contract which expires at the end of December 2019. SE has already undertaken significant work in relation to tax advice for our overseas offices, and this additional work will ensure key outputs from this can be successfully completed prior to the end of the financial year. A full tender process in relation to SE's future requirements will be commenced in due course. ### Lot Information Lot 1 This is a voluntary ex ante transparency (VEAT) notice. This notice is to indicate that Scottish Enterprise (SE) intends to contract with Ernst + Young for a 3 month period as a short extension to the current contract which expires at the end of December 2019.

A full tender process in relation to SE's future requirements will be commenced in due course. ### Procurement Information Scottish Enterprise wishes to extend the current contract for a short period prior to re-tender to ensure that knowledge and expertise built up over the 4 years of the current contract will not be lost and that work required by the end of this financial year can be completed on time. It is also considered that the cost involved in bringing a new supplier on board at this time would be disproportionately high. It is intended that a new contract to run from 1st April 2020 will be tendered in due course. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JAN376826 | | Notice type | OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Jan 2020 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 21 Nov 2019 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £220,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCOTTISH ENTERPRISE | | Additional buyers | SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G2 6HQ | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM32 Glasgow City | | Local authority | Glasgow City | | Electoral ward | Anderston/City/Yorkhill | | Westminster constituency | Glasgow North | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ERNST & YOUNG LLP (EY | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79100000 - Legal services - 79111000 - Legal advisory services - 79140000 - Legal advisory and information services ## Release History - 8 Jan 2020 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JAN376826 - 22 Nov 2019 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F15 - Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV373011 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV373011 Tax Advisory Services - This is a voluntary ex ante transparency (VEAT) notice.
