This project falls under the application service providers' category and aims to find a digital notebook application suitable for HMRC field officers, particularly in civil and criminal investigations. Key dates include an engagement end date set for 3rd September 2019. The procurement method involves an early engagement exercise to test the market, whereby interested parties may register on the HMRC SAP/Ariba portal to receive further updates and participate in the process. This procurement opportunity could significantly benefit technology firms specialising in digital applications and software development, particularly those with experience in creating applications meeting legal evidential standards. Businesses with capabilities in mobile and COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) software development, data security, and integration with existing IT systems would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The digital nature of this requirement opens potential for SMEs to engage and contribute innovative solutions to HMRC's operational needs. ## Notice This is to alert interested parties that HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is considering procurement options to meet its needs of a digital notebook application. The COTS software application will be installed on Microsoft SurfacePro's & mobile phones, and will be used by HMRC field-officers when recording evidential information in relation to civil and/or criminal case investigations. The application will have off/online functionality and will adhere to the evidential standard(s) required to ensure notebook content is admissible evidence for UK court disclosure. HMRC's Fraud Investigation Service (FIS) is responsible for the department's investigations to protect funding for UK public services. We embrace future ways of working and technology, to enable our staff to work efficiently and effectively. FIS require a COTS digital notebook application for use by field-officers investigating civil and criminal cases. The application will have the capability to: note recording, take photographs, record video/audio, receive witness signatures and perform speech-to-text (in multiple languages). All case-related notebook entries will adhere to evidential standards, to ensure that contents are admissible as evidence in court. The application will have GPS and date/time-stamp functionality, which will be recorded against the file note when uploaded and saved. Once saved, the file will 'lock' editing functionality. The application will be installed on Microsoft SurfacePro's and mobile phones and must integrate with existing IT systems and infrastructure. In addition to raising awareness of potential procurement activity, this notice is to facilitate an electronic market engagement exercise so HMRC can test the market. Interested parties can register on the HMRC SAP/Ariba portal, where HMRC will be able to upload information, including questionnaires, for interested parties to access & submit responses to help further inform requirements.
