Processing and clearing services

Tender description

The purpose of this Prior Information Notice is to alert interested parties that HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is considering tendering for a partner (or partners) to support the scanning and processing of cheques, associated payslips and forms in order to extract data for onward processing within HMRC and via HMRC’s banking partners. In the light of industry developments in the processing of cheque-based payments, HMRC is looking to implement a scanned image and data extraction solution to replace current data capture and management processes and allow industry-standard data to be passed to HMRC’s banking partners and relevant data to transfer directly into HMRC’s systems. Timeframe for implementation of the selected solution will be by end October 2019. Market engagement will be in 2 parts: — part 1 will be to set up a question and answer opportunity on our e-sourcing portal, which will allow interested parties to provide information on how best our outline requirements can be met. This information will be then used to further develop our requirement in readiness for a future tender exercise, — part 2 will be to potentially hold a supplier day during week commencing 5.11.2018, but this is subject to change and confirmation.
