Notice Information
Notice Title
Strategic License Subscriptions and Advisory Services
Notice Description
To guarantee the efficient utilisation of technology, transform our digital and customer services, and fulfil public service commitments, His Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) requires research subscription services. This service will assist in setting strategies, managing projects, deploying new technologies, and ensuring regulatory compliance, amongst other things. Additionally, an on-demand ad-hoc advisory service is necessary to translate industry-leading insights into actionable plans, across different business areas and topics. The requirements have been split into 4 lots based on individual business area requirements with varying scope. Please note, the Authority have determined this requirement to be VAT recoverable meaning the contract value will be exclusive of VAT. A value for 'Including VAT' has been included within each relevant section as required by the FTS system. Values provided are inclusive of the optional 12 month extension. Values are indicative maximums and provide no commitment of spend or usage.
