## Summary

The HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is initiating a procurement process for a concession contract concerning the United Kingdom's tobacco tracking and tracing system, as mandated by the World Health Organization's Protocol to Eliminate Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products. This procurement falls under the industry category of "Software package and information systems" and is currently at the planning stage. The tender period concludes on 1st January 2022, with the contract expected to commence on 3rd January 2022 and run until 1st January 2025.

This opportunity is particularly relevant for technology firms specialising in software development and information systems, especially those with experience in tracking and tracing solutions. Businesses targeting this contract should be prepared to deliver comprehensive services that enable the tracking and tracing of tobacco products both manufactured and imported into the UK, thereby allowing for potential growth in a compliance-driven market following the end of the UK’s transition period from the EU. Engaging with HMRC during the virtual event in September 2020 will be a valuable step for potential suppliers.

## Notice

HMRC intend to award a concession contract to a single supplier for the United Kingdom's tobacco tracking and tracing system under the World Health Organization Protocol to Eliminate Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products. The UK is currently part of an EU-wide system and the supplier will provide all services required for a national system following the end of the Transition Period. The services will enable the continued tracking and tracing of tobacco products manufactured in or imported into the UK. Our current contract for this provision expires on 31st December 2021 and we are seeking a supplier to deliver this solution from 1st January 2022. The purpose of this Prior Information Notice is to alert interested parties and invite potential suppliers to a virtual engagement event in September 2020.
