Official UK procurement notice
Fraud Reporting Gateway Supplier Contract Renewal
Authority: HM Revenue & Customs (Central government)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionService provides HMRC with intelligence reports generated from anonymous public disclosures of suspected fraud and wrongdoing. These reports are collected via telephone and online channels, sanitised to remove identifying information, and then shared securely with HMRC for investigation and operational use.
The service includes ongoing handling of contacts, preparation of structured reports, and the ability for HMRC to submit follow-up questions through supplier's two-way communication mechanisms. The contract supports HMRC's intelligence-gathering capabilities by enabling access to information that cannot be obtained through standard reporting channels, maintaining continuity of a long-standing operational service.

- Why no open competition
- Single Suppliers Technical Reasons
- Published justification
Crimestoppers has been identified as the only supplier of the anonymous fraud reporting gateway to the specification required, therefore a single supplier direct award has been deemed the most appropriate course of action. Justification for single supplier direct award is under Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023:
6 The following conditions are met in relation to the public contract-
(a) due to an absence of competition for technical reasons, only a particular supplier can supply the goods, services or works required, and
(b) there are no reasonable alternatives to those goods, services or works.
- Risks
Possibility of exceeding set number of reports per annum could lead to additional, marginal charges.

| Treble 5 Treble 1 LimitedSMECrimestoppers Contract1 Jul 2026 – 30 Jun 2029Options: The contract value is for a set number of reports received per annum, for every report received over the limit, a marginal charge is incurred. The increase in contract value from the Transparency Notice is to reflect the fact that a maximum cap on charges has been agreed, where previously there was none. For the avoidance of any doubt, the pricing mechanism remains the same (fixed price + marginal pricing for reports above the yearly limit) as when the Transparency Notice was released, the only difference is that a cap on total charges across the contract life has been agreed, to prevent the marginal charges accruing without limit. | £400,000 | 15 Jun 2026 | Awarded |
