Summary of the contracting process

HM Revenue & Customs procured services to develop, operate and continuously improve its cloud-based Data Lakehouse platform under the Data Warehouse Transformation programme. The requirement covers data migration, data ingestion, platform management, ongoing optimisation and operational support. It is an information technology services contract, including consulting, software development, internet and support activities. The work is for HMRC and is delivered across the United Kingdom. This is Lot 3, focused specifically on developing and running the Data Lakehouse rather than on general IT support. The requirement suits organisations able to combine cloud data-platform engineering with long-term operational management and continual improvement of a business-critical public-sector data environment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with submissions due by 20 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC. Credera Limited was awarded the contract on 1 June 2026 for £100,000,000. The contract runs from 20 July 2026 to 30 June 2031, and a signed contract document is recorded. HMRC evaluated the requirement as a services procurement covering the Data Lakehouse development and run scope. The opportunity was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active, with Credera Limited named as the selected supplier.

This award demonstrates substantial, sustained demand from HMRC for specialist data-platform delivery at enterprise scale. A credible future competitor would need proven capability in cloud-based Data Lakehouse architecture, engineering and platform operations, together with reliable data migration and ingestion at organisational scale. Experience of continuous optimisation, service management, resilience, security and supporting a complex government data-transformation programme would be important. Suppliers would also need the capacity to maintain and improve the platform over a long-term service relationship, not simply deliver an initial build. The selected supplier is a large organisation, and the procurement was not identified as suitable for SMEs, indicating that scale, depth of resources and mature delivery controls are likely to matter when this requirement returns.
