UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

HM Revenue and Customs is procuring specialist services for its Fraud Investigation Service to manage seized and forfeited assets under the Proceeds of Crime Act and related legislation. The scope covers removing and collecting assets, transport, secure handling, appraisal and valuation, secure storage, sale and disposal, marketing, auctions, and maintaining records, audit trails and witness statements where required. The service must support national delivery and reactive operational requirements while preserving evidential continuity and chain of custody. Assets are to be managed securely and, where appropriate, sold or returned in line with evidential and legal requirements. The procurement is for services delivered across the United Kingdom, including storage and warehousing and auction services.

The procurement has been awarded following a competitive selective process under a framework. One completed lot was awarded to WILSONS AUCTIONS LIMITED. The award date was 9 September 2026, with a value of £732,452 excluding tax and £878,942.40 including tax. The standstill period ends on 22 September 2026, and the scheduled contract signature date is 25 September 2026. The contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 27 September 2030. The award remains recorded as pending, while the tender itself is complete. Evaluation details are not stated in the available outcome. The requirement was treated as above the relevant threshold and covers the full national service rather than separately awarded lots.

This award shows that HMRC requires a supplier able to manage the complete lifecycle of seized and forfeited goods, rather than only auctioning items. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need nationwide operational coverage, responsive mobilisation, secure transport and storage, robust asset valuation, disposal and auction capability, and the ability to market goods effectively. Strong controls for evidential continuity, chain of custody, audit trails and legally reliable records are central to the service. The requirement also points to the value of established auction and warehousing operations, with capacity to handle reactive work and provide witness statements when required. Personnel delivering relevant services must meet applicable security clearance requirements.
