We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We ODIN Quality Security Ltd will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 ODIN Quality Security Ltd recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- Armed Forces Friendly
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.

COM23071 - Assessing: CTSA assessments: discovery assessments (Action Guide)
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-09)


This page is currently under review

To prepare a discovery assessment, consider steps 1 - 9 below.

1. Use function TAXW (View Taxpayer Work Lists) to find any open work list entries that may need attention during or after the issue of the discovery assessment.

2. Use function DASS (Display Assessment Details) to view any assessments that have already been issued for the Accounting Period (AP).

3. If necessary, take prints of the assessments so you have the figures you need at step 6.

4. If S458 relief is included in the assessments, set the ‘CII’ signal using the ‘other signals’ button in function MAPS (Maintain AP Signals) and use SEES to issue form CT250(P) to HMRC Payments by attaching to an eForm which is accessed through My Services.

5. Use the ‘prepare/amend a discovery assessment’ option in function RAMA (Record/Amend Assessment).

6. So COTAX can calculate the tax for the AP, enter:
- the total of all amounts already assessed to Corporation Tax for the AP in any type of COTAX assessment (revenue determination, self assessment, discovery assessment and so on)
- any additional amounts you have newly discovered
- the total amount of any reliefs due for the AP
7. So COTAX can calculate the further amount to make good the loss of tax, use the ‘non-standard reduction’ field to enter the total amount of tax already assessed in all other COTAX assessments for the AP.

8. Make a free format note that says this notice shows all amounts now assessed and credit for tax already assessed, for the period shown. A letter will follow.

9. Issue a letter of explanation to the company or its agent.

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We Didsbury Engineering will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Didsbury Engineering recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- Armed Forces Friendly
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- UK Reservists
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Armed Forces Charities
We also pledge the following:

Promoting the Armed Forces: promoting the fact that we are an Armed Forces-friendly organisation, to our staff, customers, suppliers, contractors and wider public.

2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.

Procurement Act 2023 - Guidance documents
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-24)

These documents cover all aspects of the Procurement Act 2023 and are intended to provide technical guidance and help with interpretation and understanding.

To support preparation for the Procurement Act 2023, we are publishing a suite of guidance documents addressing all aspects of the new regime, covering subjects from transitional arrangements and covered procurement through to pre-market engagement, award rules, exclusions and contract modifications.

These documents should be read in conjunction with the Procurement Act 2023 and its associated regulations and are aimed at procurement practitioners and commercial policy leads in contracting authorities. They are intended to provide technical guidance and help with interpretation and understanding of the new regime.

The documents will vary in length, but each will typically cover:
- Legal framework
- What has changed
- Key points and policy intent
- Linked notices or guidance, where relevant (hyperlinks to related guidance will be added once all documents are published)
- Where to find further information (hyperlinks will be added once all documents are published)
References to ‘regulations’ within this guidance should be interpreted as the Procurement Regulations 2024 unless specified otherwise. Guidance which discusses contracting authorities acting in accordance with the Act is to be read as complying with the provisions of both the Procurement Act 2023 and its associated regulations.Where the guidance refers to ‘previous legislation’, this means the Public Contracts Regulations 2015; the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011; the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016; and the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016.

The central digital platform referenced in the guidance comprises an enhanced version of Find a Tender (FTS), providing the new procurement notices, and a new Supplier Information Service (SIS). The central digital platform will be supported by a single place of registration for both parts of the service and suppliers will be able to access both FTS and SIS using the same account via: Find tender service - search (https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Search)

The Welsh Government is separately publishing its own guidance and devolved contracting authorities in Wales should consult the Welsh Government website (https://www.gov.wales/) for more information.

To aid navigation, we have arranged the guidance documents under the four stages of the commercial pathway: Plan; Define; Procure; Manage. You will be able to see from the list below which have been published, and for those which have been published a link to the sub-section where you will find the documents.

The Appeal a Planning Decision Service expands to include Section 78 casework
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-27)

Five Local Planning Authorities (LPAs) now piloting expanded service with nationwide rollout planned from June 2025

We have expanded our pilot of the service to include Section 78 casework, marking a significant milestone in our organisation’s digital transformation programme.

Successful pilot expansion

Following the successful implementation of the Householder Appeals Service (HAS) with five pilot LPAs, the Appeal a Planning Decision Service is now being used to handle Section 78 appeals. This expansion represents the next phase in modernising and future-proofing our online appeal services.

Tom Warth, Head of Planning and Environmental Appeals Service at the Planning Inspectorate, said:

“The feedback and collaboration from our pilot LPAs has been invaluable in developing a system that truly meets user needs. This expansion to include Section 78 appeals demonstrates our commitment to creating a more efficient, accessible and user-friendly appeals process for all stakeholders.”

The five LPAs participating in the pilot are:
- London Borough of Barnet
- Royal Borough of Greenwich
- London Borough of Havering
- London Borough of Richmond upon Thames
- London Borough of Bromley
National rollout from June 2025

We are pleased to announce that following the pilot phase, the LPA casework portal will begin rolling out to all authorities across England from June 2025. The rollout will be conducted in tranches to ensure a smooth transition and appropriate support for each authority.

Benefits of the new appeals service

The expanded digital service offers numerous benefits including:
- Streamlined submission and management of appeals
- Improved tracking and monitoring capabilities
- Enhanced communication between all parties
- Reduced paper-based processes
- More efficient handling of casework
Preparing for the transition

We encourage LPAs to begin considering how this transition might affect their internal processes. Guidance and support will be provided throughout the implementation period.

Further information

LPAs can find preview videos of the dashboard functionality via our YouTube playlist (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwvNeOAdprpEgwSZhPQDYKMQK9o7zscGa&si=Ll0cVdijZz-qCbj0), including:
