Coverage: 9 active published awards; 7 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
The Universities of Leicester, Aston and De Montfort (DMU, and together “the Universities”) are all academic and research Universities with thriving student communities and a reputation for academic and research excellence. As such the Universities operate in a complicated legal and regulatory environment and intend to establish a non-exclusive framework of professional tax advice for the Universities and their subsidiary companies. The framework term will be four years in total (2+1+1) – with each university having the option to either extend or leave after each term renewal . The framework will be split into three lots as detailed below with up to five suppliers envisaged to populate each lot:
Lot 1 UK Value Added Tax advice
Lot 2 Other UK Tax advice (Inc but not limited to Corporation tax review and compliance, Customs Duties, Employment Related and other UK tax advisory services)
Lot 3 International Tax advice (Inc but not limited to compliance and advisory services, Corporation tax, overseas VAT/GST relating to the consequences of overseas operations) (Non-UK, EU and Outside EU)
