Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) procured education agency services for its Tax Facts educational programme. The work covers the national rollout, delivery, maintenance and continuing development of Tax Facts, including the 16+ Vocational Tax Facts Programme and existing educational resources. The appointed agency is responsible for programme strategy and planning, developing educational resources, engaging stakeholders, supporting communications, evaluating the programme, reporting performance and carrying out continuous improvement. This is a public-sector education, communications and programme-management service, with related marketing, public relations and campaign activity. Delivery covers the United Kingdom, including England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The buying organisation is HMRC, operating nationally from London.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 28 July 2026 to First In Class Limited. The award value is £111,875 including the stated currency, against an estimated overall procurement range of £111,875 to £150,000. The awarded contract period runs from 31 July 2026 to 31 July 2027. It was a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, rather than an open standalone tender. The tender submission deadline was 12 June 2026 at 4pm. The requirement was evaluated as a services contract involving education agency, advertising campaign, marketing and public relations work. HMRC identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. One supplier received the award.

This award demonstrates demand from HMRC for an agency able to combine education-sector delivery with strategic communications and programme management. Credible competitors would need to plan and manage a national educational programme, create and maintain resources for different learner groups, and support the rollout of vocational content alongside established materials. Relevant strengths include stakeholder engagement across education and public-sector networks, campaign and communications delivery, robust evaluation methods, performance reporting and a demonstrable approach to continuous improvement. Suppliers that can connect educational insight with marketing, public relations and measurable programme outcomes are well placed for this type of requirement. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that specialist organisations as well as larger integrated agencies may be credible competitors.
