Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by H M Revenue & Customs involves the completion of the iPaasS Pilot project with IBM United Kingdom Ltd. The contract falls within the IT services sector, covering consulting, software development, internet, and support, and is set in the United Kingdom. This contract, valued at £248,000, was derived via a selective procurement method, specifically through a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement stage is complete, with the award notice published on 16th March 2026, and the contract period spanning from 6th February 2026 to 28th March 2026.

This contract presents substantial business growth opportunities for entities within the IT services industry, particularly those capable of providing consultancy, software development, and support. Although the procurement method was selective, signifying that participation may have been limited, businesses specialising in IT solutions and able to operate within the framework agreements of large organisations like IBM stand to benefit significantly by aligning themselves with similar projects. Large-scale businesses are notably positioned to gain from such arrangements with government entities, although SMEs and VCSEs might not find this specific opportunity directly suitable due to its tailored selection process.
