## Summary

The public procurement process titled "Legal Research Market RFI" is being conducted by H M Revenue & Customs (HMRC) and is currently in the planning stage. This process aims to explore options within the legal research market to support HMRC's objectives. The initiative falls within the industry category of IT services, particularly focusing on software packages and information systems. The key milestone for engagement ends on 17 January 2022, and relevant documents have been published as part of the market engagement notice.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those involved in IT services, consulting, and legal research. Companies that can offer innovative solutions or consultancy services related to software development, research and development consultancy, or business services in law and marketing would be well-positioned to compete. Engaging with HMRC through this RFI allows organisations to provide valuable insights into their capabilities and potential product offerings that can align with HMRC's requirements.

## Notice

The purpose of this RFI event is to explore the Legal Research Market for current and future product options to support HMRC in delivering key objectives. This event will enable organisations to provide relevant information, through the provided questionnaire, regarding any potential solution they may offer, estimated costs, and what contractual routes their solution can be accessed through. The primary purpose of this exercise is, therefore, to gain a deeper understanding of the market, and what potential solutions are available. HMRC currently have a high-level requirement, which is included within this RFI, but we would look to develop this requirement accordingly if there are innovative solutions available. Suppliers are asked to review the attached RFI and complete the embedded questionnaire within the RFI document and provide any supplementary information. For any questions relating to the RFI please contact: arif.patel@hmrc.gov.uk adam.garside@hmrc.gov.uk
