## Summary

HM Revenue & Customs, based in London, has concluded a procurement process for services in the IT sector under national security grounds. This direct award contract pertains to software packages and information systems and was granted to a single supplier: Withheld Section94 Supplier. The procurement method justified a direct award due to the supplier's exclusive intellectual property rights, eliminating alternative options. The procurement is now in the award stage, with the contract set to commence on 28th June 2025 and run until 27th June 2028. The estimated gross contract value is £2,625,674, with a net value of £2,188,062.

This procurement process presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in the IT industry, particularly those that offer consulting, software development, and support services. While the current contract was awarded directly due to unique proprietary rights, businesses capable of offering similar exclusive rights or innovative IT solutions could find opportunities to engage with government contracts. Companies with a strong focus on delivering robust software package solutions or IT support services in the UK market are well-positioned to pursue future tenders with government organisations such as HM Revenue & Customs.
