Tax Consultancy Tenders and Contracts

A tax consultancy tender is a public sector contract inviting suppliers to advise on tax matters such as corporation tax, VAT or employment tax. The buyer is looking for specialist tax expertise it does not hold in-house.

Stotles brings together tax consultancy tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.

If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. Tax advice is let as standalone retainers or called off from Crown Commercial Service financial and management consultancy frameworks, and Irish local government uses a national tax advisory framework.

Tax advisers are usually expected to hold professional membership such as the Chartered Institute of Taxation or ICAEW, and firms that also audit the buyer must meet auditor independence rules. Tenders usually set minimum professional indemnity insurance, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar commissions at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.

A buyer runs a competitive tender for the work, or calls off an existing framework agreement that already covers tax advisory services. The appointed supplier is named as the award in the notice.

Universities, NHS trusts, housing associations and local councils are among the buyers running tax consultancy tenders. Central government bodies and their agencies also procure this kind of tax advice.

Read finance function reviews, tax compliance requirements, framework renewal dates and expiry dates for existing tax advisory retainers, which show work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.
