## Summary

The procurement process for the “Services Agreement” was conducted by H M Revenue & Customs, aimed at servicing the hosting provision for 13 HMRC applications on the Virtual Managed Environment (VME) Platform. With a total contract value of £168,800,000 and a procurement method detailed as an open procedure, the contract period spans from 21 November 2020 to 30 June 2025. The tender process concluded on 29 September 2020, and the primary industry category is classified under computer platforms with additional classifications covering programming services and application service provisions. The buyer is located in London, England.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specializing in IT services, particularly those experienced in hosting, software development, and systems migration. Companies capable of providing modernisation and application services, especially those with a track record of transitioning applications from legacy systems, would be well-positioned to compete for similar procurements. The ongoing demand for robust IT infrastructure within government sectors underscores the potential for businesses to expand their operations and secure long-term contracts in this area.

## Notice

The contract is for continuation of hosting provision for 13 HMRC applications on Virtual Managed Environment (VME) Platform, on which they are currently hosted. The contract includes option for potential provision of modernisation and application services for the hosted applications, which will be either decommissioned or transitioned from the VME (and later the upgraded MVE) platform during the life span of this contract.
