## Summary

The HM Revenue & Customs has completed an independent technical assurance procurement process for development consultancy services related to the Technology Sourcing Programme. The tender, titled "Independent Technical Assurance," was carried out through a selective procurement method with a value of 268,569 GBP. The contract period is from October 17, 2022, to October 16, 2023. The main procurement category is services, and the tender deadline was October 13, 2022.

This tender opportunity by HM Revenue & Customs is suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in development consultancy services. Businesses with skills in auditing services may also find this tender appealing. The procurement stage involves a call-off from a framework agreement, offering opportunities for growth through skills transfer and expertise development in IT technical elements. The location for service delivery is in the United Kingdom.

## Notice

HMRC are looking to re procure a similar service that they have previously used to review the technical IT element of the Technology Sourcing Programme (TSP) business cases. There is an enduring need as a small number of TSP cases remain and there is a wider number of programmes which have significant technology elements to them. The service required would be that of a review of the IT technical element of the business cases with an additional skills transfer to allow HMRC to grow expertise internally and therefore minimise the need for external support.
