techUK is delighted to host another HMRC market engagement event following the Technology
Sourcing Programme (TSP) launch event in November 2020. This event is a chance for the TSP team to brief the market on an upcoming procurement for Digital Development Services (DDS).
TSP is a multi-year programme of work transforming and enabling how HMRC delivers IT, utilises technology and works more effectively as an organisation. HMRC will migrate to a new IT vendor landscape in a phased approach. Supplier contracts will be regularly re-competed with greater disaggregation, reducing the risk of incumbent advantage, resulting in an improved supply chain with the potential for many new suppliers, including SMEs.
This session will allow HMRC to set out to industry the approach and key components of the upcoming Post-Covid Recovery & SR21 New Build Activity, and Automation Delivery procurement, including the vision, requirements, timeline, and route to market. The broad requirements are:
- Broad DDaT capability to support the ongoing development of a range of applications across HMRC’s Digital Delivery Centres as a result of funding initiatives from Spending Review 2021 and post-Covid Recovery.
- Specialised DDaT capability to support the ongoing development and management of existing Robotic Process Automation solutions across HMRC’s Automation Delivery Centres.
- Robotics Process Automation thought leadership and innovation, the centre of excellence support and future software options.
It is worth noting that the intention for this procurement is to run via the Technology Services 3 Lot 3D Framework. Please bear in mind, only suppliers on the framework will be invited to the session and subsequently participate in this procurement. However, the recording will be made available to any SMEs should you wish to work with partners who are on the relevant framework.
As they look to disaggregate their contracts and move to a more agile environment HMRC is keen to access the best capabilities contained in the market, and so companies of all sizes are encouraged to engage if they think they have relevant solutions. This is a great chance for the tech industry to learn about the procurement, so book your place now!
