Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process led by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) focuses on the "ALM Platform- JFrog SaaS Migration" project. The procurement involves a direct award to JFROG UK LIMITED, a supplier based in London. This initiative falls under the IT services category, specifically consulting, software development, Internet, and support, with the primary aim of modernising HMRC’s DevOps operations by migrating to a Software as a Service (SaaS) model. This contract, valued at £6,660,000 excluding VAT, commenced on 26th September 2025 and will conclude on 25th September 2028. The procurement method was direct, citing reasons of intellectual property and technical necessity, to prevent operational disruptions. The award was finalised on 24th September 2025, located within the United Kingdom's jurisdiction and focusing on central government needs.

This procurement offers significant growth opportunities specifically for businesses specialising in IT services, with expertise in DevOps and SaaS solutions. The requirements to integrate and manage a large suite of software build packages and CI/CD platforms make this a suitable endeavour for firms with advanced technical capabilities and existing portfolios in similar technological domains. SMEs and large-scale IT service providers can explore partnership and subcontracting options within related ecosystems, while further opportunities may arise in support services and platform extensions. Considering the sophisticated nature of HMRC's operations, businesses with innovative solutions and a focus on seamless technical integration will particularly thrive in this environment. The contractual commitment to creating new job opportunities reinforces the potential social and economic benefits alongside technical fulfilment.

Notice Title

ALM Platform- JFrog SaaS Migration

Notice Description

HMRC require a universal DevOps solution, providing end-to-end automation and management of binaries and artifacts through the application delivery process improving productivity across HMRC's development ecosystem. HMRC are planning to consolidate multiple siloed software instances across CDIO, ECS, DPS, EIS and B&T/CDS into SaaS based platforms. HMRC requires freedom of choice supporting 25+ software build packages, all major CI/CD (Continuous Version 1.0 3 Integration and Continuous delivery/deployment) platforms, and DevOps tools HMRC already use. This is focusing on the need to procure the following licenses for the JFrog Binary Repository and Software Contextual Analysis software. License requirement: Cloud Enterprise+ 2 SaaS Platforms True-Up Consumption.

Procurement Information

Single supplier - intellectual property or exclusive rights Single supplier - technical reasons JFrog is a key piece of software for the organisation as it is used to store manage and distribute software packages and artifacts throughout the development lifecycle. Moving to an alternative solution would cause significant disruption and risk to the authority. This would create disproportionate technical and resource challenges that would impact business operations and not demonstrate commercial value or provide the most economically advantageous outcome
