## Summary

The procurement process involves H M Revenue & Customs, which is conducting a tender titled "Survey of Employers Providing Benefits in Kind (BiKs)" to gather quantitative and qualitative research on BiKs offered by employers. This initiative, classified under research services, is based in Manchester (M60 9LA) and was awarded on 21 January 2022, with a contract period running from 31 January 2022 to 31 July 2023. The tender had a minimum value of £150,000 and a total of £155,000, using a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period concluded on 10 January 2022.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth, particularly for research firms and consultants specialised in employer benefits and tax administration. Businesses that understand the complexities of Benefits in Kind and can contribute to simplifying their administration will be well-positioned to compete for similar future contracts. With the ongoing reforms prompted by legislative changes and the need for comprehensive research, there is a prime opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises to engage in this sector and potentially benefit from upcoming projects aimed at enhancing efficiency in public policy.

## Notice

HMRC is interested in conducting quantitative and qualitative research to understand how and why employers offer Benefits in Kind (BiKs), their overall cost and their prevalence. The current regime undervalues BiKs, does not properly take account of earnings and is complex to administer. Major changes, such as the ban on new diesel and petrol car sales from 2030, require reforms. Evidence will inform reforms to simplify administration and potentially raise PS1bn revenue. It will also cost 10 unvalued BiKs tax reliefs, allowing HMRC to address knowledge gaps which, following NAO, OBR and PAC scrutiny, it has publicly committed to overcoming.
