## Summary

The procurement process pertains to a contract titled "Graphical Communication Technical Support," awarded by H M Revenue & Customs, a government entity based in Salford, England. The contract falls within the services category, specifically focusing on technical support services, with a total value of £100,000. The procurement method was a direct single tender action, and although the tender period ended on 11 May 2020, the contract is active and commenced on 12 May 2020, with an expected completion date of 12 November 2020.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small to medium enterprises, particularly those with expertise in graphic design and technical communication. Businesses that can effectively translate complex technical information into accessible graphics are well-suited to compete for such contracts. The requirement for outputs to support a business case for funding approval underlines the potential for growth and partnership with government agencies keen on clear and effective communication of IT developments.

## Notice

The supplier is to interpret the technical details of HMRC's IT technology stack now and planned for the future, then produce graphics to support understanding by technical lay-people (including Ministers) of the changes and the future pathway. The outputs are required for a business case going to the DG of CDIO Group by mid-April and then Treasury in July for funding approval booked before Parliament goes into Summer Recess. It's three months' work, using a small team from the supplier on an outcome basis.
