## Summary

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) is planning a procurement process for an "Automation Platform" project aimed at implementing a Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) automated regression testing solution native to ServiceNow. This opportunity falls under the Software package and information systems industry category and is situated in the United Kingdom. The process is currently in the planning stage, with a market engagement session scheduled on 22nd June 2026. Interested suppliers must register by 19th June 2026. The procurement process involves services above threshold and is suitable for SMEs, with the contract period expected to commence on 12th August 2026 and end on 11th August 2029.

This tender provides numerous business growth opportunities, especially for companies specialising in software package systems and IT consulting services. The project aims to automate and enhance regression testing processes which demand expertise in software development and deployment. Businesses that are skilled in providing efficient IT solutions, particularly those familiar with ServiceNow environments, are well-suited to engage in this procurement process. Participation in the market engagement session will allow suppliers to showcase their capabilities and gain valuable insights into HMRC's requirements, paving the way for potential collaboration.

## Notice

HMRC are considering the implementation (provide and configure) of a COTS (Commercial Off-the-Shelf) automated regression testing solution that is native to ServiceNow. The solution should automate regression testing across multiple environments, automate documentation and handover steps, reduce rework and enable faster and more reliable deployment processes. As part of this effort, HMRC are looking to engage with the market to better understand supplier capabilities in this space. Suppliers are invited to attend an early market engagement session to gain insight into the requirements and participate in a capability-scan exercise. Please note, this is a Request for Information (RFI), serving to inform about upcoming market engagement, and not a tendering opportunity.
