Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process has been conducted by HM Revenue & Customs, located in London, United Kingdom, for ongoing support and maintenance of HMRC's CloudOS infrastructure. This infrastructure underpins critical payment systems, including the National Insurance & PAYE Service (NPS) and Core Business Platforms (CBP). The contract has been awarded to Accenture (UK) Limited, also based in London. The process was completed through a direct award due to the necessity of maintaining compatibility and avoiding technical difficulties with existing services. The contract, valued at approximately £5,488,486 gross, started on 23rd June 2026 and is scheduled to end on 22nd December 2027, with the possibility of a 6-month extension, allowing for a transition to future procurement strategies.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those offering consulting, software development, internet, and support services. Companies with expertise in cloud infrastructure management and critical systems maintenance would find this contract aligned with their capabilities, especially if they are prepared to handle large-scale, government-level service requirements. Such opportunities enable businesses to establish a presence in the public sector and potentially secure long-term collaborations, leveraging their expertise to contribute to the continuity and enhancement of national infrastructure services.
