Decision:
Agreed: that the following two Consultants be appointed as the Councils VAT partner for specialist tax advice and opportunities that may arise from changes in Legislation.

Opportunities for no win no fee work can be presented by both providers if the idea is unique.
The contract would be awarded by the beginning of March 2019 and will run until February 2022 (i.e. 3 years plus the option to extend by a further year).
Reasons for the decision:
The reason for the recommended decision is: to ensure the Council has a contract in place should specialist tax advice be required and enable the Council to respond quickly to any changes in Legislation whilst ensuring compliance with the procurement regulations.
