## Summary

The procurement process for "TWS License and support 2025" by H M Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has been completed with an emphasis on services within the software industry category. This selective procurement was conducted as a call-off from a framework agreement, involving the provision of software licences and support necessary for the efficient operation of HMRC's Tivoli Work Scheduler (TWS). The procurement, valued at £196,000, supports workload management across HMRC's platforms. The contract period started on 1st June 2025 and concluded on 30th September 2025, with key delivery taking place in London, England (postal code SW1A 2BQ). The award was made to Specialist Computer Centres (SCC) on 26th May 2025.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs capable of providing specialised software solutions. The need for automation and efficient workload management tools is underscored by the demands of large governmental operations such as HMRC. Businesses with expertise in software automation tools, particularly IBM products, would be well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders. By fulfilling stringent requirements in high-value government contracts, suppliers can enhance their credentials and build long-term partnerships with major public sector clients.

## Notice

This requirement is for software licenses and associated support for Tivoli Work Scheduler (TWS) and is essential for HMRC to manage their workload between HMRC tax duty systems. TWS is an IBM product - Software automation tool that helps manage/automate workload execution across various platforms, enabling the scheduling, monitoring, and control of jobs and job streams. HMRC workloads include batch uploads, payments etc..., and is required as part of our day-to-day business. Without these licences and support, HMRC would not be able to operate TWS and Head of Duty Services.
