The project is currently in the planning stage and aims to enhance the UK's border operations as outlined in the 2025 Border Strategy. Suppliers are encouraged to respond to a Request for Information (RFI) questionnaire accessed through the HMRC SAP Ariba e-sourcing portal, with a future notice expected on 1st August 2022. The initiative is intended to streamline import and export processes by providing a single gateway for businesses to meet their obligations at the UK border. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on IT services, particularly those with expertise in software development and systems integration. Companies that can develop user-friendly applications or systems designed to facilitate seamless data sharing and communication with government departments will be well-positioned to compete. The project is designed to rationalise data requirements and improve traders' experiences, making it appealing for those who can contribute to innovative solutions within the public sector's technological landscape. ## Notice The Single Trade Window Programme is a multi-year Programme and a key enabler of the technological and data integration delivery required to deliver the UK's published 2025 Border Strategy, which sets out the UK's ambition to have the most effective border in the world by 2025. Further detailed information is available via the duplicate notice on Contracts Finder published today. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Currently a business seeking to trade through the UK Border - whether importing or exporting - needs to interact with a number of Government Departments through separate processes, often asking for the same information. The Single Trade Window will provide a single gateway for businesses to complete their import, export and transit obligations at the border, submitting information once and in one place. It will not replace the back-end systems operated by individual Government Departments but deliver the technology and structure that shares information with these systems, maintaining each individual Department's independence when processing the required data. The STW will benefit traders by: * Rationalising data requirements by only asking for any piece of information once * Providing a single point of access and consolidated communication both from and to the trader * Offer easy to use guidance that puts the trade at the centre of what the customer needs to do In addition to Trader benefits the STW will provide support HMG by: * Eliminating data errors and inconsistencies by only asking for each piece of information once * Sharing data between consuming systems in real time, to facilitate earlier analysis for risking improving the flow of goods through the border and enabling better targeted intervention. The Single Trade Window Programme has developed its strategic business case and a cross-HMG approach, reflecting the numerous Departments that interact with the UK Border, and is listed on the Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA) register of Government Major Projects Portfolio (GMPP). Following the Spending Review 2021 (SR21) process, the Programme is now taking forward its plans for delivering its ambitious but transformational agenda. Over the course of its lifecycle, the Programme will need to deliver: * Services that offer an outstanding transactional experience for customers when they submit information on border transactions, including tailored support, guidance and visibility of the progress of their submissions and goods * Functionality that enables data to be quickly, accurately and safely shared across organisations, and is capable of being analysed and presented in different ways depending on the specific needs of the user ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/007798-2022 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Mar 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 31 Jul 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | H M REVENUE & CUSTOMS | | Locality | MANCHESTER | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M60 9LA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD34 Greater Manchester South West | | Local authority | Salford | | Electoral ward | Ordsall | | Westminster constituency | Salford | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 22 Mar 2022 at 18:58 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/007798-2022 ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/hm-revenue-customs ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
