Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

HM Revenue & Customs procured project management consultancy services for its Data Centre Exit Programme. The requirement is a Programme and Project Management Office service supporting the move from legacy data-centre infrastructure to cloud-based services and associated technology migrations. Work covers programme governance, planning and scheduling, reporting, risk, issue and dependency management, benefits management, supplier coordination, assurance and business-readiness support. Services are delivered across the United Kingdom. The buyer requires a PMO capable of providing effective oversight and coordination of a complex technology transformation programme, including multiple suppliers, migration activities and organisational change. The procurement is categorised as project management consultancy services. It is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and is a services requirement rather than a works or goods contract.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Deloitte LLP on 26 July 2026. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract runs from 27 July 2026 to 26 July 2028. The awarded initial-term value is £6,000,000 excluding VAT. The wider potential contract value is up to £9,000,000 excluding VAT, comprising the initial term and an optional extension period valued at £3,000,000 excluding VAT. Services are called off on a no-commitment basis through fixed-price Statements of Work, setting agreed deliverables, milestones and payment arrangements. The tender submission deadline was 21 May 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was evaluated for this specialist PMO requirement through the framework call-off process.

This award demonstrates demand from HMRC for structured programme and project management support around large-scale technology migration and data-centre exit work. Suppliers seeking comparable future work would need credible capability in PMO delivery, governance, integrated planning and scheduling, management reporting, and control of risks, issues and dependencies. Experience coordinating multiple technology suppliers and overseeing migration activity would be directly relevant, alongside the ability to manage benefits, provide assurance and support business readiness. The requirement favours organisations able to operate within a framework call-off model and deliver clearly defined, fixed-price Statements of Work with measurable deliverables, milestones and payment arrangements. It is suitable for SMEs, so a specialist consultancy may be well placed to compete, either independently or through a framework position and with sufficient capacity for complex UK-wide public-sector transformation.
