What is being bought

HMRC requires the provision of forensic analytical services that will support investigations into all operational areas of Hydrocarbon Oils criminality and fraud by providing expert testing/examination and reporting on a variety of exhibits, primarily but not limited to Diesel, Petrol and on similar and associated products. The service provider must possess, or be able to demonstrate, working towards achieving the current ISO/IEC 9001:2015, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, and ISO/IEC17025 certification, accredited by UKAS or a comparable body. The service provider will be required to identify and quantify any Government rebated fuel markers present in a sample of Oil provided by HMRC.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 76. The category anchor is Services related to the oil and gas industry (76000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

HMRC are looking to engage suppliers in a Request for Information (RFI) in relation to the retender of our Hydrocarbon Oils Analysis requirement, in order to provide services for HMRC's Fraud Investigation Service (FIS). The RFI documentation will consist solely of HMRC's Specification for this requirement. Information requested is to assist us to prepare for a future tender, in which we anticipate requirements would be satisfied by one supplier. HMRC requests feedback on our service provision and any areas of ambiguity or inconsistencies. Where key elements of the service would artificially restrict supplier capability to deliver, feedback on these areas would be appreciated. Similarly, please confirm whether your organisation has the capability and capacity to deliver the services in full, to our timescales and to the standard required within the Specification. HMRC welcomes supplier feedback during this Pre-Market Engagement exercise. Any feedback received will be considered but will not be binding on HMRC, which reserves the right to accept, reject, or disregard any suggestions and to determine its final requirements and procurement strategy. In advance of sharing the RFI documentation, if you wish to participate in the RFI your organisation will be required to review and sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), in line with HMRC's confidentiality process. If you wish to participate, please respond back including your: • Company Name • Company Registration Number • Office Address • Signatory Name and Email Address If you have a HMRC specific Ariba ANID number and you wish to participate in this RFI, please also provide your ANID in response to this notice. The NDA will then be issued to the signatory via DocuSign. The deadline for your organisation to sign the NDA is COP 11/08/2026, in order to participate in the RFI. Once your organisation has signed the NDA, you will be invited to join the RFI on our SAP Ariba e-Sourcing tool by 12/08/2026. The deadline for feedback on the RFI will be COP 5pm 18/08/2026.

HMRC requests feedback on our service provision and any areas of ambiguity or inconsistencies.\nWhere key elements of the service would artificially restrict supplier capability to deliver, feedback on these areas would be appreciated.\nSimilarly, please confirm whether your organisation has the capability and capacity to deliver the services in full, to our timescales and to the standard required within the Specification.\nHMRC welcomes supplier feedback during this Pre-Market Engagement exercise. Any feedback received will be considered but will not be binding on HMRC, which reserves the right to accept, reject, or disregard any suggestions and to determine its final requirements and procurement strategy.\nIn advance of sharing the RFI documentation, if you wish to participate in the RFI your organisation will be required to review and sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), in line with HMRC's confidentiality process.\nIf you wish to participate, please respond back including your:\n• Company Name\n• Company Registration Number\n• Office Address\n• Signatory Name and Email Address\nIf you have a HMRC specific Ariba ANID number and you wish to participate in this RFI, please also provide your ANID in response to this notice.\nThe NDA will then be issued to the signatory via DocuSign. The deadline for your organisation to sign the NDA is COP 11/08/2026, in order to participate in the RFI.\nOnce your organisation has signed the NDA, you will be invited to join the RFI on our SAP Ariba e-Sourcing tool by 12/08/2026.\nThe deadline for feedback on the RFI will be COP 5pm 18/08/2026.\nHMRC Commercial Contacts for participation: Harry Hind harry.hind@hmrc.gov.uk & Jessica Lindon-Cartledge."
