Summary of the contracting process

HM Revenue & Customs procured cloud support for the UK TradeInfo website, www.uktradeinfo.com. The service covers hosting, helpdesk support, monitoring and ongoing website development delivered through call-off change-control procedures. This is an IT services requirement covering software development, internet services, technical support and consultancy. The work is for the UK TradeInfo website and is delivered in the United Kingdom. The procurement is categorised as services and is relevant to suppliers able to provide managed cloud hosting alongside operational support and continuing development for a public-sector digital service.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 14 August 2026 to Avanade UK Limited. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 18 May 2026 at 14:00. The awarded value is £906,811 including the stated currency of GBP. The procurement’s upper estimated value was £1,813,622, with a minimum estimated value of £906,811. The contract period runs from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2028. The published outcome identifies one active award and one supplier. The opportunity was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations.

This award demonstrates established demand from HM Revenue & Customs for an integrated cloud-support service around a trade-information website. A credible future competitor would need to combine secure, reliable cloud hosting with a responsive helpdesk, proactive monitoring and the technical capability to maintain and develop a live public-sector website. It would also need to manage changes through formal call-off and change-control processes, coordinate operational service delivery with software development, and provide sufficient capacity for a large, sustained support engagement. The selected supplier was a large organisation, indicating that scale, resilience and the ability to cover both day-to-day support and continuing development are important competitive strengths.
