Official UK procurement notice
Movement of Seized Cash · UK public procurement notice
Authority: HM Revenue & Customs (Central government)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionUnder the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 HMRC has the right to seize cash or goods it has reasonable grounds to suspect are the proceeds of crime, are intended for use in unlawful conduct or are otherwise recoverable property. HMRC has an obligation to ensure that any seized monies are transferred to an Interest Banking Account as soon as possible.
The main objectives of the contract are to:
- Provide a cost-effective Service for the collection and delivery of seized cash, cheques and goods.
- Guarantee the security of seized cash/cheques/goods whilst in the possession of the Supplier.
- Minimise health and safety risks to both the Customer and the Supplier involved in the collection, delivery and transportation of seized cash/goods and cheques.
A supplier is required to ensure the successful transfer of seized cash, cheques and goods from agreed HMRC collection points to appropriate banking institutions via the following core services:
- Cash in Transit (CIT) service (ad hoc collections)
- Scheduled Service (scheduled collections)
- High Risk High Value (HRHV) service (collections valued >£100k)

How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.
i
How often small and medium firms win.
Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.
The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.
Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.
i
How often local firms win similar work.
Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.
Local means the winner is registered in the region where that award was delivered.
A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners were registered in the region where that award was delivered.
i
How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.
Middle value in days from the bid deadline to the award date, on competitions that published both.
Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.
Half of these awards have an award date within 99 days of the bid deadline.
i
How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.
Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.
Both shares are minimums: some awards have no bid count.
Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.
Direct awards or one recorded bid are common here. Check the route before spending time on a bid.
How many bids did past lots attract?
i
How many bids past lots received.
Each colour is a bid-count range. Only competed lots with a published count are included.
Past bids do not predict this tender.

How did awards compare with estimates?

Where winning prices landed against estimates.

Past prices are a guide, not a bid price.

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.

HMRC is the UK's tax, payments and customs authority, and we have a vital purpose: we collect the money that pays for the UK's public services and help families and individuals with targeted financial support.
Through this engagement we are looking to test market capability and appetite to deliver our Movement of Seized Cash service.
Areas we would like to test include how HMRC's requirements compare against current market offerings and how social value can be applied in an upcoming procurement.
Engagement is expected to be conducted via Teams meetings and questionnaires submitted via Ariba.
