In plain English

HMRC is talking to the market ahead of a possible future contract for software that spots forged or AI-generated documents, checks metadata, compares documents and cases, and scores fraud risk, with integration into HMRC systems. This is an early information-gathering exercise only, not a bidding opportunity; any resulting contract is indicated to run from 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2030.

Good fit for: Document fraud detection and identity verification software suppliers.

The catch:
  • Not a call for competition – no contract is being awarded at this stage
  • Notice mentions security and operational support models, so security requirements are likely later
  • No value, deadline or procurement route stated
