On Tuesday 6 September 2022 from 10.00 to 12.30, techUK is delighted to welcome Crown Commercial Service (CCS) and HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) for an in-person*/virtual supplier briefing ahead of the scheduled Selection Questionnaire release in September. As well as notifying the market of a new framework, CCS and HMRC are keen to understand the market's interest in joining the framework and to answer any questions.
HMRC is building a digital tax system powered by the latest technology - high-quality digital services that are flexible, resilient and responsive enough to keep pace with rapid social, economic and technological change, which will be easier and simpler for our customers and colleagues to use.
CCS and HMRC are joining together to create a framework initially for HMRC’s future Digital and Legacy Applications Services (DALAS) requirements. The DALAS framework is a multi-supplier, multi-year project of work. It will change the way HMRC delivers IT application services for the next generation and how it utilises technology in ways that enable HMRC to work more effectively as an organisation and deliver better services for our customers.
The DALAS framework will:
• allow HMRC to migrate its application services to a new multi-supplier, multi-year framework in a phased approach;
• use agile ways of working, increase the speed to market of specific work packages, and improve competition throughout the framework term; and
• improve the engagement and use of the supply chain with the potential for many new suppliers, removing barriers to entry for small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
CCS and HMRC will engage the services of an increased number of suppliers with significant expertise in managing and developing application services as they progress to the next stage of an agile environment. This session will allow CCS and HMRC to set out to suppliers the vision to create a new multi-supplier, multi-year framework and to provide further information on high-level requirements, timelines, and routes to market.
Book your place to learn more about the opportunity and explore your alignment with HMRC’s future requirements.
This event will be hybrid, which means it will be held both in-person* at techUK's office in London and online via Microsoft Teams, so please ensure you choose the relevant ticket when booking.
*Please note that in-person tickets are limited to two people per organisation.
