HMRC has published a prior information notice in the search for a supplier to deliver fraud prevention and tax credit intervention services, in a bid to cut down on abuses within the system which last year led to losses of £2 billion.

The notice for tender asks for a supplier to provide additional capacity to the HMRC workforce, and undertake over four million reviews over a three year period. The supplier would also be required to host HRMC IT systems on its premises, requiring sufficient security measures to be in place, to ensure data protection.

The search for a supplier comes after the success of a 2013 trial which succeeded in reducing error and fraud in the tax credits system, and resulted in savings of £20 million.

HMRC will hold an engagement event on November 14th which will allow suppliers to present to the department project team.
