Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

HM Revenue & Customs procured specialist low-code technology services for its UK estate. The requirement covers low-code solution design, development, configuration, testing and deployment, together with DevOps, live service management, operation and continuous improvement of low-code products and services. This is an IT services contract spanning software development, consulting, internet and support activities (CPV 72000000). The buyer is HM Revenue & Customs, based in London, and delivery is required in the United Kingdom. The work is focused on supporting and improving HMRC’s low-code technology estate, including the full lifecycle from product design and build through to operational support and ongoing enhancement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 14 January 2026 at 17:00 UTC, and the contract was awarded to Cognizant Worldwide Limited on 20 May 2026. The awarded value is £360,000,000. The contract runs from 13 July 2026 to 12 July 2031, covering an initial three-year term and two optional 12-month extensions. The requirement was procured as services and identified as Lot 1, Low Code Leadership and Configuration Services for Build and DevOps. The award is active, with Cognizant Worldwide Limited named as the selected supplier.

This award indicates substantial and sustained demand from HMRC for suppliers able to lead and configure low-code platforms while also providing dependable DevOps and live-service capability. A credible future competitor would need an integrated team covering architecture and solution design, low-code development, configuration, software testing, deployment, operational support, service management and continuous improvement. Experience of running low-code products in a complex public-sector or similarly regulated environment would help demonstrate delivery maturity, resilience and the ability to manage change across an established technology estate. The requirement is suited to organisations with significant delivery capacity and the ability to support a broad service lifecycle rather than small, specialist assignments. It also provides a clear benchmark for the scale and breadth of capability HMRC has selected.
