Summary of the contracting process

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) commissioned IT services for the Unity Programme, focused on design, build and implementation readiness for ServiceNow-based case management and knowledge management. The scope covers discovery and design, development of a ServiceNow portal, and configuration for HR, Finance and Procurement case management. It also includes integrations between SAP and ServiceNow environments, identity and access management, testing, knowledge transfer and transition support. This is a technology consulting, software development, integration and support requirement, classified under CPV 72000000. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is HMRC, the UK government department responsible for administering tax, payments and related public services. The work is categorised as services and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. HMRC used a selective procedure to make a call-off from a framework agreement. Capgemini UK Plc was awarded the contract on 13 August 2026 for £1,417,804, including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 14 August 2026 to 30 November 2027. The tender submission deadline was 15 July 2026 at 12:00. Evaluation was conducted through the framework call-off process; the published information identifies the procurement route but does not set out separate quality or price weightings. The award is active, and the contract covers the complete ServiceNow Unity integration requirement rather than separate lots or separately awarded packages.

This award demonstrates demand from HMRC for suppliers able to deliver complex ServiceNow transformation rather than isolated software development. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need joined-up capability across discovery, service design, portal development and configuration of HR, Finance and Procurement case management. Experience integrating ServiceNow with SAP and other ServiceNow environments would be important, alongside identity and access management, testing and implementation readiness. The requirement also favours suppliers that can provide knowledge transfer and transition support, not just technical delivery, and can work across the full service lifecycle. Firms should be able to coordinate multidisciplinary teams, manage dependencies between enterprise platforms, and support public-sector operational change. Its suitability for SMEs indicates that specialist firms or capable delivery partnerships may be relevant, while the selected supplier was a large organisation.
