## Summary

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has awarded a concession contract for the Tobacco Track & Trace ID Issuer, aimed at establishing the UK's ID Issuer for the tobacco traceability system, as outlined in EU Directive 2014/40/EU. The procurement process was conducted using an open procedure and was officially completed on 25 February 2019, with a total contract value of £3,000,000. The contract is set to commence on 20 May 2019 and will run until 20 May 2024, covering deliveries to various locations, including the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories, among others.

This tender represents a significant opportunity in the software and information systems sector, particularly for organisations capable of delivering robust solutions in compliance with EU directives. As HMRC is the contracting authority, businesses focused on traceability, compliance, and regulatory software solutions would be well-placed to compete. Given the contract's duration and value, companies with experience in large-scale software implementations and a strong understanding of the tobacco industry's regulatory framework are especially encouraged to consider involvement in such procurement processes.
