On Monday 4 April, techUK is delighted to welcome back the HMRC TSP team for a supplier briefing ahead of a rapid procurement (to complete procurement activities by end of June 2022). In addition to notifying the market of an upcoming contract, the team is also keen to understand where the market stands in terms of their requirement below.
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.
By the end of June 2022 CDIO must transform and procure new contracts and implement critical capabilities, processes, standards and tools needed to run and change live services.
This session will allow HMRC to set out to the suppliers its vision to procure services for the “Auxiliary transition support” 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:
- DDaT capability to provide services specifically to include IT- focussed project management, business analysis and IT architecture
- Transition of services (including in flight projects) from the incumbent to the new supplier which could include IT build
- Scale to provide delivery of services on a number of projects running simultaneously and be ready to start working by end of June 2022
- Innovations and focus on outcome-based delivery
Note – This procurement is not for “Run” services but will involve hyper care, post go-live support and transition as per the usual project lifecycle.
The supplier will work as a group of small teams to deliver defined deliverables and/or outcomes on specific projects that would be each subject to their own Statement of Works (SoW). All the resources provided by the supplier should meet the requirement as defined by Digital Data and Technology (“DDaT”) profession Capability Framework for all services. They should be fully skilled and qualified to provide the IT services HMRC require.
Please note that the intention is to run this procurement via the Technology Services 3 (Lot 1 or 2) Framework. If you’re on the relevant frameworks*, make sure to book your place now!
*Suppliers who are not on these frameworks, but have an interest in potentially partnering with a TS3, Lot 1 or 2 suppliers on this procurement, are 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, and so companies of all sizes are encouraged to engage if they think they have relevant solutions and can scale up at short notices.
This is a great chance for the tech industry to learn about procurement, so book your place now.
