## Summary

The procurement process initiated by H M Revenue & Customs aims to secure the services of a technical copywriter for the development of a capability map and definitions. With a contract value of £4,560, the procurement follows a limited competitive quotation method and is currently in the award stage. The contract runs from 24th September 2019 to 15th November 2019, with relevant activities located in London. The tender period closed on 23rd September 2019, making arrangements for effective communication with stakeholders a priority.

This tender offers growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in writing agency services, particularly those with experience in technical documentation and clear communication strategies. Businesses that can convert complex technical language into accessible content would be well-suited to compete, as the resulting contract highlights the demand for quality writing that meets specific stakeholder requirements within governmental departments.

## Notice

We need to procure the services of a technical copywriter to help us develop the final draft of the capability map and capability definitions. The document needs to be clear and visually compelling to enable stakeholders from across the Department to adopt and use the language of capabilities by turning technical language into plain English. While the map is structurally and conceptually sound there are inconsistencies in formatting and language which still require expert support in order to articulate clearly to our stakeholders.
