Rationale
(a) This variation provides for a further campaign to that already provided by the contract. (b) Using a different supplier is not feasible as there are no other suppliers which meet the requirements for this contract. Crimestoppers are the only supplier offering fully anonymous crime reporting to the public with direct police integration. (c) No other suppliers meet the requirements. (d) This variation is for a value increase of £40,000. This is less than 50% of the £100,000 contract value.

ANALYSIS PREVIEW

Award intelligence at a glance

HM Revenue & Customs awarded CRIMESTOPPERS TRUST a £100,000 contract for a 10-week digital-first campaign on illicit tobacco, including public reporting routes. A later contract-change notice proposes a further campaign and a £40,000 increase; the change is subject to standstill and should not be treated as a concluded variation.
