We require the secure transportation of seized digital items between nationally dispersed Fraud Investigation Service (FIS) property stores and two Cybercrime & Forensic Service (C&FS) laboratories. The laboratories forensically examine the seized digital items to aid in criminal investigations. We need the exhibits transporting to the laboratories because the laboratories have the specialist knowledge and secure facilities to enable the work to be carried out. We have our own inhouse Crime Scene Investigation team who also require the courier service to transport forensic evidence such as fingerprints and DNA to laboratories to be forensically analysed. ### Fuel - Annually HMRC's Mobile Enforcement Teams, based at 8 regional sites throughout the UK (former Road Fuel Testing Units), send approximately 200 consignments of samples of fuel to another HMRC supplier, Eurofins, Nr Heathrow for analysis. The analysis, which is decreed in legislation, is business critical as the analytical results generated by Eurofins provide the legal basis for enforcement action. Samples are also the primary evidence that an offence has taken place and therefore a sample of any fuel is also an exhibit as is its subsequent analysis. Therefore, the transportation of these samples must be demonstrably secure. ### Secure Data Exchange Service (SDES) - The courier is required to move items such as disks, CDs and hard drives from HMRC to HMRC, HMRC to third party or third party to HMRC locations. This will need to include GPS tracked vehicles and 2 manned vehicles with end-to-end tracking. Due to the aggregation of official sensitive information being moved, 2 manned vehicles ensures the van is never left unattended. For FIS, movements are driven by operational & court demand and where CDIO data can't be transferred digitally (e.g. paper and audit material, and archive material from Iron Mountain from investigations).
