## Summary

H M Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has completed a procurement process for a Credit Checking Service to support the Government Gateway Identity Verification function. This contract, valued at £1,200,000, falls under the Banking and Investment Services category. Managed through a selective procurement method involving a call-off from a framework agreement, the tendering process concluded with an award dated 5th September 2025. The contract period is set from 9th September 2025 to 8th September 2027, with the services to be delivered within the United Kingdom. The procurement stage is in the 'Award' phase, signifying that the tender has been awarded and finalised.

This procurement offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies in the credit checking and financial services sector. Given the scale and specificity of the contract, large-scale businesses like Equifax Limited, the awarded supplier, are well-suited to deliver on such projects. Firms with experience in government contracts and robust frameworks for handling sensitive financial data could find similar opportunities lucrative and strategically beneficial. Although this opportunity may not be directly suitable for smaller enterprises or VCSE (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises), understanding the operational standards and requirements can prepare these businesses for future procurements in similar categories.
