Description

The CPS in conjunction with the Serious Fraud Office (SFO), the National Crime Agency (NCA) and The Public Prosecution Service for Northern Ireland (PPSNI) invites applications to join a panel of Office-holders who will act on a range of confiscation and civil recovery related matters across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Office-holders will be drawn from the panel on a case-by-case basis, will be appointed by the High Court or the Crown Court (depending on the legislative scheme covering the case) upon the application of the CPS. Professionally qualified, they must have significant investigative, asset management and enforcement experience. Applicants should note that the court will need to be satisfied as to the suitability of any person put forward for appointment as an Office-holder and a person who has not acted in this capacity on previous occasions, may be required to give evidence of the fitness for appointment.

This requirement is split into three lots as detailed in the procurement documents. Tenders may be submitted for all lots.

Due to the nature of this requirement suppliers must hold SC level security clearance.
