## Summary

The procurement process titled "Tax Platform Major Change" is being initiated by the Crown Commercial Service, with a budget of £400 million allocated over a maximum term of four years. This project falls under the programming services for packaged software products category and is intended for use exclusively by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) in the United Kingdom. Currently in the planning stage, the procurement follows an open procedure and is expected to facilitate future announcements on or after 11th August 2022, with contracts commencing on 24th December 2022 and concluding by 24th December 2026.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in software development and IT services, particularly those with expertise in SAP's Tax & Revenue Management module. Companies that can demonstrate both global capability and a commitment to enhancing UK operations would be ideally positioned to compete. The project is designed to attract a diverse range of suppliers capable of delivering substantial code changes to HMRC's Tax Platform, thereby creating a competitive environment that can drive innovation and efficiency within the sector.

## Notice

Crown Commercial Service, as the Authority, intends to put in place a multi-supplier framework agreement for the provision of major code changes to HMRC's Tax Platform. As such, this framework is only available for use by HMRC and not to any other UK public sector body. This will be a single lot framework and is aiming to achieve a pool of suppliers with demonstrable global expertise in SAP's Tax & Revenue Management (TRM) module who have, or are willing to, invest in UK capability. HMRC's Enterprise Tax Management Platform (ETMP) currently uses a highly customised version of the SAP ECC6.0 commercial software package and it's HMRC's intention to introduce a Multi-Supplier Framework to promote competition in delivering change. The scope of the Framework includes 'major changes' only. Smaller changes are out of scope. The term of the framework is a maximum of four years.
