Lot No: 1 Lot title: Company Credit Checks
1)Short description

These checks can be used to aid the organisation in proactively eliminating risk to itself and its wider community.

Background – In order to assist organisations in the management of its contracts and suppliers it is necessary for the organisation to carry out a series of background checks on its supplier base (current and potential) financial standing.

Taking the above into account this Agreement is to be populated with a number of CRA’s who can deliver the necessary information that will allow the organisation, as part of its risk management process, the information it requires.

Lot No: 2 Lot title: Person Checks
1)Short description
To help identify fraud and fraudulent activity the Supplier will be expected to work with an Authority to carry out a range of checks and searches on named individuals or groups as requested and directed by the Authority.
2)Common procurement vocabulary (CPV)
79212400
3)Quantity or scope
Background – In the UK organisations lose millions of pounds due to fraudulent or deceptive claims. In many cases the claimants are aware of their deception and as such are committing a criminal act. It is often difficult for an organisation to spot or even recognise that it is the object of deception, this could be due to the complexity of the deception itself, the sheer volume of requests it has to process and the cost involved in carrying out checks.
Public Sector bodies and organisations are a major target for the fraudster, who might be claiming for a range of benefits that they are not entitled – Social Security fraud for example. With the UK Government announcing budgetary restraints and cut it’s increasingly important to identify fraudulent and deceptive claims or claimants before any benefit is delivered and also to identify any existing benefit claims and payments that have been obtained through fraud or deception and to take appropriate action to reclaim the benefits and where appropriate prosecute those who make such claims. SSFA legislation outlines the provisions that Government bodies should follow in obtaining information about individuals in order to make a provision for the restriction of benefits for fraudulent claims and proceedings for such offences.
This LOT is solution led and may differ dependent on the requirement of the Participating Authority. The Supplier will be expected to work with the Participating Authority to develop a solution that fits the needs of the business.
Taking the above into account this Agreement is to be populated with a number of CRA’s who can deliver the necessary information that will allow an organisation, as part of its risk management and fraud prevention processes, the information it requires.
Basic Requirement – To help a Participating Authority identify fraud and fraudulent activity the Supplier will be expected to work with the Authority to carry out a range of checks and searches on named individuals or groups as requested and directed by the Authority. These checks may include but not be limited to:
— identity checks,
— contact detail (address, telephone numbers etc),
— residency checks (rights to reside in the UK),
— tenancy checks,
— bank account details,
— credit ratings,
— payment record (i.e. credit card defaults, loan defaults, mortgage defaults etc),
— income checks,
— evidence of housing fraud or similar fraud,
— permit to work checks,
— single person discount checks.
The detail obtained by the Participating Authority from the CRA in relation to any Person Checks shall be used to obtain, by any and all legal means available to it, the return of any benefit already delivered, to refuse any fraudulent or deceptive claim and to pursue through a court of law any target who it believes is undertaking criminal activity in respect of the subject of the request for information.
