Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

HM Revenue & Customs procured technical IT services for the design, build, configuration and testing of the VAT PDF and CAS Proxy service. The requirement sits within IT consulting, software development, internet and support services (CPV 72000000) and is classified as a services contract. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The work concerns the creation and technical preparation of two connected or related services: a VAT PDF service and a CAS Proxy service. This is a digital delivery requirement for a central government tax authority, rather than a general software support or routine technology supply contract. Businesses relevant to this opportunity would typically provide software engineering, systems integration, technical design, configuration and testing services for public-sector or regulated digital platforms.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. HMRC used a selective call-off from the DALAS framework, through direct award under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Capgemini UK Plc was awarded the contract on 10 July 2026 for £495,000 including the stated contract value currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 13 July 2026 to 12 April 2027. The tender submission deadline was 6 July 2026 at 5pm. The award is active and covers the full requirement rather than separately reported lots. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although the selected supplier is Capgemini UK Plc. The recorded procurement category is services, with the award made through the framework call-off route.

For a supplier assessing future HMRC demand, this award demonstrates a requirement for a capable digital delivery partner able to take specialist services from technical design through build, configuration and formal testing. Relevant businesses would need credible software development and systems integration capability, with the capacity to deliver two service components within a government tax environment. Experience of designing interfaces or proxy services, producing document-based outputs such as PDFs, configuring technical environments and evidencing test results would be directly relevant. Suppliers should also understand the controls expected in regulated public-sector technology work, including structured delivery, assurance, documentation and operational reliability. Familiarity with framework call-offs and the requirements of HMRC or comparable government digital services would strengthen a future competing proposition.
