Event round-up: HMRC SAP Strategy and Design Services (SDS) Market Engagement Event
On Wednesday 6 July from 14:00 - 15:00, we were delighted to welcome back the HMRC SAP SDS team for a virtual supplier briefing ahead of the scheduled ITT release mid-July.
The Technology Sourcing Programme (TSP) is a multi-year programme of work transforming and enabling how HMRC delivers IT, utilises technology and works more effectively as an organisation.
Key benefits of TSP will be:
- HMRC will migrate to a new IT vendor landscape in a phased approach.
- Supplier contracts will be regularly re-competed with greater disaggregation, reducing risk of incumbent advantage.
- Improved supply chain with the potential for many new suppliers including SMEs.
This programme is an essential component of the CDIO strategic programme portfolio to modernise and transform the enterprise IT estate and services delivered to citizens and colleagues. CDIO must transform and procure new contracts and implement critical capabilities, processes, standards and tools needed to run and change live services.
During the session HMRC to set out to the suppliers its vision to procure services for the “SAP SDS” project and provide information to the suppliers, the requirements, timeline, and route to market.
HMRC are looking to engage services of one supplier which can provide:
- SAP design & delivery assurance capability across the full project and programme lifecycle
- Translate HMRCs requirements into clear deliverables that can be executed by SAP Major Change partners
- Building internal capability within the HMRC SAP Practice
- Innovations and focus on outcome-based delivery
While the intention is to run this procurement via Lot 1 of the Technology Services 3 Framework, suppliers who are not on this framework, but have an interest in potentially partnering with a TS3 Lot 1 supplier on this procurement, were also welcome to join the session.
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. The presentation was followed by a Q&A session.
