Border Force is a law enforcement command within the Home Office (the `Authority`). The Authority secures the UK border by carrying out immigration and customs controls for people and goods entering the UK and its priorities are to:
— deter and prevent individuals and goods that would harm the national interests from entering the United Kingdom (UK),
— facilitate the legitimate movement of individuals and trade to and from the UK,
— protect and collect customs revenues for trade crossing the border,
— provide excellent service to customers, and
— provide demonstrable effectiveness, efficiency and value for money.
The Authority detains or seizes goods and vehicles at the border which are sometimes adopted for onward investigation by Her Majesty`s Revenue and Customs (HMRC), National Crime Agency (NCA) or Immigration Enforcement (IE) under the appropriate legislation. HMRC, NCA and IE also detain/seize goods through their inland operations which shall require disposal, destruction or recycling. The Authority is seeking a managed service provider or a prime contractor who will provide a flexible, secure, efficient, auditable end-to-end disposal service for seized goods and act as a single point of contact for the Authority to deal with. In handling the seized goods, the contractor will be required to provide secure facilities and procedures; prevent loss; maintain an accurate audit trail of all its activities; ensure that the chain of evidence is maintained; provide destruction certificates; provide value for money and comply with indicative holding timelines. High temperature incineration of drugs and shredding facilities for tobacco will be required.
