Title: | 15-SCR-Insolvency Practitioners (Scotland)-623 |
Notice type: | Contract Notice |
Authority: | HMRC |
Nature of contract: | Services |
Procedure: | Open |
Short Description: | HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) takes insolvency proceedings against limited companies, individuals and other entities which have failed to make payment and where other avenues of recovery have been exhausted and insolvency is deemed appropriate. A large majority of proceedings in Scotland are initiated by HMRC’s Edinburgh Enforcement and Insolvency (EISE) office. The scope of this requirement is limited to proceedings initiated by EISE. Proceedings at the instance of other arms of HMRC (e.g. Special Investigations) are outwith the scope of this requirement. In Scotland, when a creditor petitions the court to wind up a limited company, legislation requires the creditor to nominate an insolvency practitioner (IP) to act as liquidator. HMRC's basic requirement is to establish a framework of organisations with named IPs who can be nominated to accept appointments as interim liquidators. In addition IPs may be required to accept nominations to act as interim trustees, provisional liquidators and other appointments. IPs may also be asked to carry out preliminary investigative work from time to time. This procurement exercise will allow the Authority to establish a number of location based panels of IPs with formal arrangements in place (primarily around fees and outlays) between operators on the Framework and HMRC (EISE). The Framework will establish six (6) panels of service providers with their individually named IPs, with each panel having responsibility for a Sheriffdom of Scotland. Each panel will consist of five or six organisations with named individual IPs, with a reserve list to cover contingencies. Accordingly, the procurement exercise will be divided into lots. Estimated Value - Given the nature of this requirement, HMRC can offer no guarantee of future volumes or values of assignments to be placed through the Framework once established. It is expected that IPs will recover fess and outlays where there are sufficient assets.The value range shown in this notice is an estimate of how much HMRC anticipates it will need to cover (pay) in cases where there are insufficient/no assets to cover the IPs costs/fees. The figure is for the whole of Scotland (only), includes the possible extension i.e. total is for two (2) years and makes assumptions that historic volumes remain the same. Further data with regards to historical volumes is available within the tender documentation, covering total appointments irrespective of asset position e.g. both sufficient and insufficient asset cases are covered in the volumes, as a guide for potential providers. To register an interest for this opportunity and receive access to HMRC's online procurement tool (Emptoris) containing tender documents, further information and the submission/application process please send an email to e.procurement@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk any time up to, but no later than 12:00 (Midday) 19/10/2015.

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) takes insolvency proceedings against limited companies, individuals and other entities which have failed to make payment and where other avenues of recovery have been exhausted and insolvency is deemed appropriate. A large majority of proceedings in Scotland are initiated by HMRC’s Edinburgh Enforcement and Insolvency (EISE) office. The scope of this requirement is limited to proceedings initiated by EISE. Proceedings at the instance of other arms of HMRC (e.g. Special Investigations) are outwith the scope of this requirement.
In Scotland, when a creditor petitions the court to wind up a limited company, legislation requires the creditor to nominate an insolvency practitioner (IP) to act as liquidator. HMRC's basic requirement is to establish a framework of named IPs who can be nominated to accept appointments as interim liquidators. In addition IPs may be required to accept nominations to act as interim trustees, provisional liquidators and other appointments. IPs may also be asked to carry out preliminary investigative work from time to time.
This procurement exercise will allow the Authority to establish a number of location based panels of IPs with formal arrangements in place (primarily around fees and outlays) between operators on the Framework and HMRC (EISE).
The Framework will establish six (6) panels of service providers with individually named IPs, with each panel having responsibility for a Sheriffdom of Scotland. Accordingly, the procurement exercise will be divided into lots. The panel for Lot No. 6 will consist of five service providers, with a reserve list to cover contingencies.
Estimated Value - Given the nature of this requirement, HMRC can offer no guarantee of future volumes or values of assignments to be placed through the Framework once established. It is expected that IPs will recover fees and outlays where there are sufficient assets. The value range shown in this notice is based on historic payments made by HMRC to IPs in cases where there were insufficient/no assets to cover the IPs costs/fees. The data with regards to historical volumes is available within the tender documentation and covers total appointments irrespective of asset position e.g. both sufficient and insufficient asset cases are covered in the volumes, as a guide for potential providers.
To register an interest for this opportunity and receive access to HMRC's online procurement tool (Emptoris) containing tender documents, further information and the submission/application process please send an email to e.procurement@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk any time up to, but no later than 12:00 (Midday) 19/10/2015. This email should contain (a) the contract reference "15-SCR-Insolvency Practitioners (Scotland) -623" (b) a contact email address; (c) a contact name; and (d) the company name and contact telephone number. Economic operators who have complied with the foregoing will receive details of how to access the online Tender documentation. (If an email response from HMRC is not received within one working day of your request, re-contact e.procurement@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk (after first checking your spam in-box) notifying non-receipt and confirming when the request was first made).

2)Common Procurement Vocabulary:
79100000 - Legal services.
79210000 - Accounting and auditing services.
3)Quantity Or Scope:
The intention is to create a framework of 6 panels, each panel will consist of five or six named service providers with individual Insolvency Practitioners (IPs) with each panel having responsibility for a Sheriffdom of Scotland. The panel for Lot No.6 will consist of five service providers. Reserve lists will be established to cover contingencies. Given the nature of the work it is not possible to provide any guarantee of work that will be made available through this framework. As far as possible HMRC (EISE) will approach IPs to accept nominations on a rota basis. However, on occasion it may be necessary where an identified skill, knowledge or capacity issue arises to depart from the rota in order to achieve improved outcomes for the Authority. In any event, work will be allocated so that no firm receives more than 40% of nominations in a Sheriffdom in a 12 month period. In exceptional circumstances the Authority reserve the right to nominate an IP who is not a member of the panel, and who may not be associated with any firm whose IPs are on the panel. Although no guarantee of volumes can be given there is historical data provided within the tender documentation.
