Notice Information
Notice Title
ALM Platform- Gitlab SaaS Migration
Notice Description
HMRC require a solution which can develop, share and version control rigorously assured code to produce robust, reproducible analysis which can also allow for Collaboration, internal transparency coupled with security. HMRC are planning to consolidate multiple siloed software instances across CDIO, ECS, DPS, EIS and B&T/CDS into SaaS based platforms. It is key that all groups in HMRC are on the same platform as other analysists, data scientists and coders in HMRC, to ensure integration and compatibility and therefore efficient use and reuse of analytical components across the department. This includes Gitlab Dedicated SaaS for 4000 users, large Infrastructure and Management
Procurement Information
Gitlab is a key piece of software for the organisation as it is used for software development, allowing teams to plan, build, test, and deploy code collaboratively in a single application. 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.
