Reference: SR3006954162
His Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) are inviting suppliers to submit tenders for the supply of Cryptoasset Investigation Services. HMRC are seeking to tackle the exploitation of cryptoassets being used to facilitate laundering or launder the proceeds of HMRC predicate offences. The list of non-exhaustive services are as follows: • Licenses to tracing Solutions - specialist commercial SaaS-based tools to provide investigative, analytical and evidential capabilities to HMRC. • Blockchain forensic investigative support - access to expert investigators for support in investigating complex modern crypto-enabled crime, combating new and innovative criminal techniques, and supporting case work including developing courtroom-grade evidence. • Application Programming Interface (API) calls - APIs that allow investigators to query blockchain data at scale, automatically, and in real time. • Solution training. • Training pathways for the upskilling of HMRC investigators, at both core and advanced levels. These products/services are expected to be key enablers to delivering the following capabilities: • Automated triage • Deep forensic analytics • Cross-chain tracing • Attribution and risk scoring • Bulk data and API handling • Investigative support • Advanced visualisation • Alerts and proactive intelligence • Secure, compliant operation • Training, mobile triage support and administrative oversight. This procurement is structured as 2 Lots within a single HMRC led Open Procedure resulting in the award of two separate contracts, one per Lot. It is not intended to establish a framework agreement. Suppliers may bid for either, or both Lots but shall only be awarded one. Each contract shall be for a period of 2 years with an option to extend a further year (exercisable by HMRC only) and an option to purchase further services up to 15% per annum. The contracts are distinguished by their volumes: Lot 1 - Contract 1: Provides per annum 55 licenses, 550 hours of investigative support, 2 million API calls, core training for up to 55 people and advanced training for up to 12 people. Total estimated value (over three years and inclusive of 15% option): £2,622,000 excluding VAT. Lot 2 - Contract 2: Provides per annum 20 licenses, 200 hours of investigative support, 1 million API calls, core training for up to 20 people and advanced training for up to 9 people. Total estimated value (over three years and inclusive of 15% option): £1,311,000 excluding VAT. The volumes (and values) stated for both Lots are are indicative only and the HMRC makes no representation that these volumes will remain the same throughout the Contract periods. The requirement is structured to enable Suppliers to tender for any of the advertised Lots. To maximise opportunities for participation and support a diverse and resilient supplier base, the Authority intends that no supplier will be awarded more than one Lot.
