Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Fraud Reporting Gateway Supplier Contract Renewal" has been completed by HM Revenue & Customs located in London, United Kingdom. The contract, which falls under the industry category of community, social, and personal services, is particularly significant for central government operations. This procurement was conducted using a direct award method due to the technical reasons outlined under Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023, where only one supplier met the required specifications. The procurement stage has advanced to the award and contract phase, with the contract officially initiated on 1st July 2026. The total gross contract value amounts to £480,000, spanning a contract period from 1st July 2026 to 30th June 2029, with the option for marginal charges beyond the annual report limits.

This tender presents a key business growth opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) capable of delivering specialised community and social services. TREBLE 5 TREBLE 1 LIMITED, known as Crimestoppers, has been identified as the sole supplier, highlighting the niche nature of the service provided. Companies with expertise in providing confidential and secure information channels and report handling systems could find opportunities in similar future contracts. Firms exploring entry into government contracts should observe this as an opportunity for long-term business continuity in supporting governmental intelligence capabilities. The implementation and ongoing handling of structured reports from public disclosures can bolster business profiles aligned with government service objectives.

Notice Title

Fraud Reporting Gateway Supplier Contract Renewal

Notice Description

Service provides HMRC with intelligence reports generated from anonymous public disclosures of suspected fraud and wrongdoing. These reports are collected via telephone and online channels, sanitised to remove identifying information, and then shared securely with HMRC for investigation and operational use. The service includes ongoing handling of contacts, preparation of structured reports, and the ability for HMRC to submit follow-up questions through supplier's two-way communication mechanisms. The contract supports HMRC's intelligence-gathering capabilities by enabling access to information that cannot be obtained through standard reporting channels, maintaining continuity of a long-standing operational service.

Procurement Information

Crimestoppers has been identified as the only supplier of the anonymous fraud reporting gateway to the specification required, therefore a single supplier direct award has been deemed the most appropriate course of action. Justification for single supplier direct award is under Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023: 6 The following conditions are met in relation to the public contract- (a) due to an absence of competition for technical reasons, only a particular supplier can supply the goods, services or works required, and (b) there are no reasonable alternatives to those goods, services or works.
