This open procurement process, with an estimated value of £105,000, aims to gather comprehensive research and recommendations to enhance the existing SARs framework. The tender period concludes on 22nd May 2017, with the contract expected to commence on 12th June and last until 21st August 2017. The delivery address is located in London, SW1P 4DF. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specializing in research and consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in financial regulation and compliance. Companies in sectors related to business management consultancy and research development would be particularly well-suited to submit proposals. Engaging in this process can help these businesses expand their portfolios by contributing to crucial reforms in the UK's anti-money laundering and terrorist financing initiatives. ## Notice Research is required to produce an options analysis and recommendations for the design of the Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) regime. This needs to be informed by what works and does not work in the current regime, what works well abroad, and projected changes in technology, the reporting sector and criminal typologies. Persons in the regulated sector are required under Part 7 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 and the Terrorism Act 2000 to submit a Suspicious Activity Report in respect of information that comes to them in the course of their business if they know, or suspect or have reasonable grounds for knowing or suspecting, if a person is engaged in, or attempting, money laundering or terrorist financing. A joint Home Office and National Crime Agency programme is delivering reform of the UK's Suspicious Activity Reports regime along a 'twin track' approach that will deliver short term improvements in 17/18 and set the long term design of the regime. This research will be used to contribute to the long term work stream of the programme. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c6680f27-4752-4014-be68-d29ab5093b3e | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Apr 2017 | | Submission deadline | 22 May 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 11 Jun 2017 - 21 Aug 2017 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £105,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HOME OFFICE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 4DF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 66 - Financial and insurance services - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 66152000 - Financial market regulatory services - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79410000 - Business and management consultancy services ## Release History - 28 Apr 2017 at 13:49 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c6680f27-4752-4014-be68-d29ab5093b3e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c6680f27-4752-4014-be68-d29ab5093b3e 28th April 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/f2aaf6bc-9d27-4536-8b9c-ef4dbab57b22 SARs Regime Analysis Specification - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/cdaf56fa-0070-4488-bdda-947022a7e166 SARs Regime ITT Qualification Response - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/0f0cf7ef-79a7-4202-9e56-f67eb586142d SARs Regime ITT Technical Response - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e01916f4-133e-4da0-893c-555fedd8b07f SARs Regime ITT Commercial Response - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b189be58-35f3-42e1-b73b-4305af2c87f0 SARs Regime Analysis Terms and Conditions - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/029dc766-c160-4bc4-99e5-eeccf99ef07c SARs Regime Analysis Schedule 1 - Services Description - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/066942d1-888a-44b4-ba39-0071c3ce732d SARs Regime Analysis Schedule 2 - Supplier Solution - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/f9bdf0d5-34f7-434b-b1ba-3150881b3e76 SARs Regime Analysis Schedule 3 - Pricing ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
