Notice Title

Digital and Legacy Application Services (DALAS)

Notice Description

Crown Commercial Service (CCS), working with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), intends to procure a new Framework Agreement for IT Digital and Legacy Application Services (DALAS). The DALAS framework intends to provide a strategic gateway to support the delivery of future application services and move HMRC toward an application services support model that is less dependent upon legacy technologies. The framework will provide a commercial vehicle to replace existing contractual arrangements that are due to expire between September 2023 and January 2025, and will provide the basis for letting a large proportion of HMRC future application services requirements. The framework will also be available to be utilised by Central Government Departments and all other UK Public Sector Bodies, including Local Authorities, Health, Police, Fire and Rescue, Education and Devolved Administrations. January 2023 Update - Phase 2 Market Engagement This update to the Prior Information Notice is to signal an intention to commence the Phase 2 (Lots 1, 4a & 4b) Market Engagement event taking place in Birmingham, Monday 6 to Thursday 9 March 2023. HMRC and CCS are keen to hear your views to help us create an innovative and dynamic framework. The Phase 2 Market Engagement will involve: * 45-minute individual face-to-face sessions between suppliers, CCS and HMRC; and * the publishing of an anonymised copy of the questions/answers with all suppliers following the event by CCS to ensure fair and open release of information to all suppliers interested in participating. These sessions will provide an opportunity to discuss the Lot 1, 4a & 4b Lots of DALAS framework in more detail. Suppliers can register for a Phase 2 individual face-to-face session by completing the event registration form, accessed via the link below: https://forms.office.com/e/qJadTAv0TS Participants in the Phase 2 Market Engagement must note that only Phase 2 of the procurement (i.e. Lots 1, 4a & 4b) will be within scope of the discussions.
