## Description
HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) sought to establish a single supplier contract for the provision of tachograph analysis services. Tachograph analysis services use a vehicle's tachograph data to understand and identify:
- The vehicle's prior locations;
- The number, times, and duration of the stops made by the vehicle; and
- Any detours from logical routes made by the vehicle.
This information can then be used to either give credence to or to negate the version of events given by the driver of the vehicle during a prosecution.
This contract will be primarily used by the Fraud Investigation Service (FIS), a division of the Customer Compliance Group within HMRC. FIS is responsible for the investigation of fiscal (tax and duty) fraud, linked money laundering of the proceeds of crime, and any international elements of these crimes.
