## Summary

HM Revenue and Customs procured cloud software development services to maintain and enhance its Buk Data Exploitation Capability. The requirement is classified as data services and covers software development work supporting a government data capability. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is HM Revenue and Customs, based in London. This is a services contract rather than a goods supply or construction project. The requirement is relevant to businesses providing cloud-based software development, maintenance and enhancement of data platforms or related data exploitation capabilities for public sector clients. It may also suit smaller suppliers, as the procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. HM Revenue and Customs used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Equal Experts on 6 August 2026 for £7,106,550 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. The original tender deadline was 30 April 2026 at 12:00. The arrangement is a two-year fixed term with one option to extend by a maximum of 12 months. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off route, and the award is recorded as active. Equal Experts is the named supplier.

This award provides a clear market reference for suppliers targeting HM Revenue and Customs requirements for cloud software development and data exploitation capability. A credible competitor would need demonstrable expertise in maintaining and enhancing cloud software, supporting a live government data capability and delivering reliably within a framework call-off environment. The requirement indicates demand for sustained development and maintenance rather than a one-off implementation, so relevant delivery teams should be able to combine software engineering, cloud capability and data-focused technical understanding. Businesses able to operate at the scale of a multi-year public sector service, while meeting framework procedures and demonstrating dependable performance, would be well placed when comparable work returns to this buyer.
