Summary of the contracting process

HM Revenue & Customs’ requirement is for a public campaign concerning illicit tobacco. The proposed contract change provides for a further campaign under the existing arrangement with Crimestoppers. The campaign is intended to support anonymous reporting of crime by the public, with reports integrated directly with police. The buying organisation is HM Revenue & Customs, a central government department. No delivery place is identified in the procurement information.

The procurement has been awarded and the existing supplier is Crimestoppers. A contract change proposes a further campaign, with the change taking effect from 23 October 2026. The proposed increase is £40,000, taking the contract value from £100,000 to £140,000 excluding VAT (£168,000 including VAT). The change is justified on the basis that Crimestoppers is the only supplier said to meet the requirement for fully anonymous public crime reporting with direct police integration. The information provided does not state the original award date or the contract’s full duration.

For suppliers considering similar work for HM Revenue & Customs, the requirement demonstrates demand for public-facing campaigns linked to illicit tobacco reporting. The incumbent was retained because its service combines fully anonymous reporting with direct integration to police; a competitor would therefore need to demonstrate that it can provide both capabilities and meet the buyer’s operational requirements. The stated rationale says no other supplier meets those requirements. This points to a specialist opportunity where trusted, secure reporting channels and established links into police processes are central to credibility, alongside the ability to deliver a further campaign under an existing contract.
