Notice Title

HMRC DCE Migration Optimisation Licence Discovery

Notice Description

Data Centre Exit (DCE) Migration Optimisation Licence Discovery Support (Professional Service).

Procurement Information

Urgent requirement to meet accelerated DCE programme schedule, as HMRC exits legacy data centres, for which there is a hard deadline, to a Hyperscaler run public cloud. Section 41 'Direct Award in Special Cases'. * Paragraph 6 'Single supplier' - an absence of competition for technical reasons means only the incumbent supplier can supply the services required, on time/budget, and there are no reasonable alternatives, that could meet the accelerated DCE timelines. * Paragraph 7 'Additional or Repeat Services' by the existing supplier where the services are an extension to, or partial replacement of existing services where a change in supplier would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance. * Paragraph 13 'Urgency' where the services are strictly necessary for reasons of extreme or unavoidable urgency, i.e. a hard exit for legacy data centres, and a contract cannot be awarded on the basis of a competitive tendering procedure.
