Summary of the contracting process

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), a central government public authority based in London, has completed the procurement process for the "ALM Platform- Gitlab SaaS Migration" project. The process culminated in a direct award contract given to GITLAB UK LIMITED, ensuring the migration of HMRC's software development to a cloud-based platform to improve integration and compatibility across various departments. The procurement method employed was a direct award due to intellectual property and technical reasons, highlighting Gitlab's crucial role for HMRC in software development. The contract, valued at £14,192,246.88 (gross), commenced on 29th September 2025 and will run until 28th September 2028, providing IT services focused on consulting, software development, Internet, and support within the United Kingdom.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses in the IT services sector, particularly those specialising in software development and support. Companies that provide similar services to large-scale operations such as SaaS migration, and those capable of addressing complex integration and compatibility issues, would be well-suited to engage with similar government projects. Such contracts can be instrumental for business growth by establishing a foothold in governmental IT service provision, offering potential for long-term collaboration and expansion into related public sector opportunities.

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.
