Summary of the contracting process

HM Revenue & Customs recently completed a competition aimed at identifying deliberate evasion to help close the tax gap. This stage concluded with active contracts awarded to BAE Systems Applied Intelligence Limited and Coefficient Systems Limited, both operating in the services category focusing on software packages and IT services such as consulting and software development. The competition was held using an open procurement method and featured a competitive flexible procedure. The awarded contracts run from 6th February 2026 to 5th February 2027. HMRC, located at 100 Parliament Street, London, serves as the buying organisation, and Josh Jones is the contact point.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the IT and software development sectors, especially for those specialising in data analytics and risk management. Large enterprises like BAE Systems, and SMEs such as Coefficient Systems, demonstrate there's room for companies of various scales to contribute innovative solutions. The focus on closing the tax gap by detecting evasive behaviours opens avenues for firms developing predictive analytics, data utilisation methods, and software solutions. Suppliers involved are encouraged to refine their solutions during the pilot phases, ensuring flexibility and innovation remain at the forefront of this initiative. Businesses offering cutting-edge software and consultancy services may find this competition a fruitful ground for growth and collaboration with central governmental authorities.
