Description

The Annual Fraud Indicator values the collective loss to the UK economy from identified and hidden fraud at 193 000 000 000 Pounds per annum, much of this is undetected. Fraud prevention is managed on a sector-by-sector basis. The Counter fraud data alliance repository is a mechanism for sharing data between organisations within the private and public sector for the prevention and detection of crime, specifically, fraud. The data that shall be shared is that of subjects that are regarded as having committed fraud against their organisation and be referred to as "known fraudsters". The system will: Allow members to upload/provide their data to the CFDA Repository in a prescribed and secure manner, Concatenate multiple source files into a single file for download by members and, Provide management information for the operators. Overall the purpose of the system is prevention, detection and reduction of fraud. The CFDA Repository must be delivered by a specified anti-fraud organisation. Cabinet Office as the Authority intends to appoint a supplier to design, build, test and operate a repository that will enable member organisations to share "known fraud" data with each other for the purpose of countering fraud. This repository must be operated by a specified anti-fraud organisation (SAFO). It is intended that this framework agreement will expand to include more members and therefore any solution must be scalable.
