This tender presents substantial growth opportunities particularly for SMEs specialising in software automation and consultancy services. The contract with HMRC for the TWS license demonstrates a significant demand for expertise in managing workload execution across different platforms. Businesses that excel in providing efficient scheduling, monitoring, and job control solutions, akin to the offerings of IBM's TWS, would find this contract particularly lucrative. SME contractors with a proven track record in software automation are well-suited to engage in similar future procurement opportunities.

## Notice

TWS is an IBM product - Software automation tool that helps manage/automate workload execution across various platforms, enabling the scheduling, monitoring, and control of jobs and job streams. HMRC workloads include batch uploads, payments etc..., and is required as part of our day-to-day business. Without these licences and support, HMRC would not be able to operate TWS and Head of Duty Services.
