## Summary

The H M Revenue & Customs has awarded a contract for the research service titled "Offshore Service Providers research SR688385120" to the NATIONAL CENTRE FOR SOCIAL RESEARCH. The procurement method used was selective, with a contract value of £65,000. The tender period ended on 17th October 2022, and the contract runs from 18th October 2022 to 17th October 2023.

This tender offers opportunities for research agencies interested in understanding customer demand for Offshore Service Providers. The contract, mainly focusing on customer motivations and ways to reduce demand for non-compliant OSPs, can benefit businesses wanting to improve intervention resource targeting. Small and medium-sized research agencies that focus on services related to compliance and risk management may find this tender suitable for their expertise.

## Notice

This is a Social Research contract intended to be let through Research Marketplace. Offshore Service Providers (OSP) knowingly facilitating non-compliance have been identified through intelligence and data as the most severe risk to enabling offshore non-compliance and have therefore been determined an operational priority by the cross-HMRC Offshore Steering Group. In order to inform and drive our response we need to better understand the motivations of customers using OSPs Whilst OSPs contribute to offshore risks, our current understanding of OSPs and drivers for their use is moderate due to the challenges presented by their location overseas. A research agency will be externally commissioned to conduct research to understand what drives customer demand for OSPs, how they access them, and ways to reduce demand for non-compliant OSPs. Customer insight will allow us to better focus intervention resource on those posing the highest risk, and educate customers on types of non-compliance in the sector. This will improve efficiency and reduce burden on compliant customers.
