Summary of the contracting process

HM Revenue & Customs is procuring IT services to provide additional Feed Migration Factory capacity. The work accelerates the migration of data feeds and historical datasets from legacy platforms into a new Lakehouse environment. It uses a controlled factory approach, with requirements for data integrity, security and testing, alongside close collaboration with the suppliers delivering related platform and capability work. The service is intended to support HMRC’s data transformation activities across the United Kingdom. It falls within IT services covering consulting, software development, internet and support (CPV 72000000). This is a specialist data migration and technology delivery service rather than a supply of hardware or general IT support.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to IBM United Kingdom Ltd. The award date was 1 June 2026, and the awarded value is £10,000,000. The contract runs from 10 August 2026 to 9 July 2031. The tender submission deadline was 20 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC. HMRC used a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement. The requirement was not marked as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. IBM is the active awarded supplier. The award value matches the overall estimated procurement value of £10,000,000. The procurement concerns a single defined service requirement within the wider data and technology programme.

This procurement demonstrates sustained demand from HMRC for enterprise-scale migration of data feeds and historical datasets from legacy platforms into Lakehouse architecture. A credible future competitor would need an established migration factory capable of processing multiple data sources in a controlled, repeatable way, with strong assurance over data integrity, security and testing. Relevant experience should include legacy-platform transition, data engineering, Lakehouse delivery and operational quality controls. Suppliers would also need enough delivery capacity to work alongside other technology providers, coordinate dependencies and maintain reliable handovers. The requirement is better suited to large, specialist technology integrators or well-resourced consortiums than to small standalone providers, and rewards proven delivery at substantial scale.
