## Summary

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) procured continued access to IP geolocation databases and related IP intelligence services for internal operational use. The requirement is for data and associated intelligence capabilities, rather than general database software or a broader data-management project. Delivery is specified for the United Kingdom. The award description identifies MaxMind, Inc. as a US corporation, and the selected supplier is based in the United States. The buying organisation is HMRC.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to MaxMind, Inc. on 10 September 2026. The award value is £77,625; the original tender estimate gave a range of £77,625 to £82,800, while the contract description states US$103,500 for the initial three-year term. The contract runs from 5 September 2026 to 4 September 2029. HMRC used a supplier end-user licence agreement renewal amendment, extending an existing agreement through its seventh amendment and renewal agreement. This was a renewal with the incumbent supplier, rather than an open competition. The tender closed on 27 August 2026. The opportunity was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates HMRC's continuing need for commercial IP geolocation databases and associated intelligence services for internal operational use. A credible competitor would need to provide dependable, maintained geolocation data and useful related IP intelligence, with licensing terms that support organisational use over a multi-year period. The selection of MaxMind through an amendment to an existing end-user licence agreement indicates that continuity with an established service and compatibility with the buyer's current arrangements were relevant in this procurement. The stated SME and VCSE suitability flags mean smaller providers and social enterprises should carefully assess whether they can meet the buyer's expected scale and licensing requirements. The requirement is specific to IP geolocation and intelligence, not general database management.

## Notice

His Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has awarded a contract to MaxMind, Inc. for the continued provision of IP geolocation databases and associated IP intelligence services.

The agreement provides a three-year term commencing on 5 September 2026 and ending on 4 September 2029. The services support HMRC's operational requirements through the provision of IP geolocation data and related intelligence capabilities for internal use. The contract value for the initial three-year term is US$103,500.
