Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

HM Revenue & Customs procured dangerous goods safety adviser services, a health and safety consultancy requirement (CPV 71317210). The adviser supports HMRC’s compliance with dangerous goods legislation, including specialist advice on the handling, storage and transportation of seized hydrocarbon oils. This is a like-for-like renewal of an existing requirement, indicating an established operational need rather than a new service model. The service is delivered across the United Kingdom. The procurement is classified as a service opportunity and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The requirement is focused on specialist dangerous-goods compliance advice for a public body handling seized fuel products, rather than general workplace health and safety consultancy.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct award procedure. The contract was awarded to Total Compliance (J S Transport Management Services Ltd t/a), an SME, on 26 September 2026. The awarded value is £12,000, inclusive of the stated contract value, and the contract runs from 4 September 2026 to 4 September 2029. The underlying tender period ended on 28 August 2026. The procurement is a three-year, like-for-like contract renewal for DGSA services. The award outcome is active, with HMRC as the buyer. The stated basis for proceeding was a direct award and renewal of the existing arrangement, rather than an open competition with separately published quality and price weightings.

This requirement is relevant to specialist dangerous goods safety advisers, hazardous materials consultants and compliance firms with practical experience of dangerous goods legislation and the movement, storage and handling of hydrocarbon products. A credible future supplier would need to advise a government organisation confidently on seized oils, understand the risks across the full logistics chain, and translate legal requirements into workable procedures and compliance support. Experience serving public-sector or regulated customers would strengthen a competitor’s position, particularly where evidence of dependable advice, clear reporting and disciplined record-keeping can be provided. The existing award also demonstrates that a small business can deliver this focused DGSA requirement, so a specialist SME with the right technical capability and capacity could be well placed when the requirement returns.
