Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process conducted by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) pertains to the "HMRC DCE Migration Optimisation Licence Discovery" and encompasses the technical analysis and consultancy services industry category. Located in London, the buying organisation is a central government public authority. This tender utilised a direct award procurement method due to urgent special cases and technical constraints, awarding the contract to SYNYEGA LIMITED. The contract's active period commenced on 13th May 2026 and extends until 10th November 2027, with a potential for a 12-month renewal.

HMRC DCE Migration Optimisation Licence Discovery

Notice Description

To provide HMRC with the following: Independent specialist expertise to provide a Managed Service to review the licensing arrangements and associated costs and to help HMRC understand migration costs and impact of exiting the Data Centre.

Procurement Information

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.
