UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

HM Revenue & Customs is planning a national service for moving seized cash, cheques and goods from agreed HMRC collection points to appropriate banking institutions. The service supports HMRC’s responsibilities under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 and must enable seized money to be transferred securely to an interest-bearing banking account. The scope covers three core services: ad hoc Cash in Transit collections, scheduled collections, and High Risk High Value collections for consignments valued above £100,000. Suppliers will also provide collection, delivery and transportation, using goods-transport vehicles with drivers and courier services (CPV 60180000 and 64120000). Delivery activity will take place across the United Kingdom, involving secure handling of cash, cheques and goods.

This procurement is at the planning stage: HMRC has stated its intention to procure but has not issued an invitation to tender. The buyer is testing market capability and appetite through preliminary engagement, expected to use Teams meetings and questionnaires submitted through the SAP Ariba eSourcing Portal. The engagement milestone is scheduled for 31 August 2026. HMRC’s stated expectation is for a five-year contract running from 10 August 2027 to 9 August 2032. The estimated value is £320,000 excluding VAT, or £384,000 including VAT. The procurement is above the applicable threshold, and the planned requirement is divided into one lot. The buyer is also seeking views on how social value could be applied.

This will suit secure logistics, cash-in-transit, courier and specialist transport providers with the operational capacity to collect and move sensitive assets safely across the UK. Relevant experience should include ad hoc and scheduled collection services, secure transportation of cash and cheques, and the handling of high-risk, high-value consignments above £100,000. Suppliers will need robust security controls, reliable chain-of-custody arrangements and procedures that protect seized cash, cheques and goods while in their possession. Health and safety arrangements for both customer and supplier staff will be important, as will dependable delivery to banking institutions. HMRC has indicated that small and medium-sized enterprises are suitable and wants to explore market capability and social value.
