## Summary

The public procurement process titled "Data Migration - SAFARI (FIS)" was conducted by H M Revenue & Customs (HMRC) and involves the migration of the SAFARI platform to a new environment aimed at enhancing infrastructure and reducing costs. Classified under the IT services industry (CPV code 72000000), the project is valued at £308,000 and was executed through a call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework, Lot 3. The procurement method followed was selective, with the buying organisation located in London, England. The tender stage is complete, having been awarded to IBM United Kingdom Limited. Key dates include the tender period ending on 30th June 2026 and the contract running from 1st July 2026 to 31st December 2026.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for IT services companies capable of providing consulting, software development, and support to large-scale projects. The selective procurement method indicates an emphasis on tailored expertise, making it suitable for businesses with a well-established track record in similar technology implementations. While this specific contract has been awarded to a large-scale supplier, IBM United Kingdom Limited, future opportunities in similar frameworks may favour small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with specialised skills in cloud migration and infrastructure modernisation.

## Notice

This contract was awarded via the G-Cloud 14 framework (Lot 3).
