## Summary

Revenue Scotland plans to replace or upgrade its Scottish Electronic Tax System, the platform used to administer devolved taxes in Scotland. The service will support taxpayers and agents to view, edit and submit tax information and make payments, while helping staff process returns, maintain taxpayer records, reconcile payments, carry out compliance activity and manage statutory casework. The planned cloud-hosted tax administration and case-management platform is to include workflow automation, operational processing, reporting and data exports to Revenue Scotland’s analytics platform. It must connect with corporate systems, including finance and contact-management systems, and third-party print and post services. Delivery is for Revenue Scotland in Scotland. The procurement covers IT services and specialist tax administration software.

This is at the planning stage: Revenue Scotland is gathering anonymised market feedback on draft terms and conditions, requirements and pricing documents before finalising the procurement and moving to tender. It is also seeking to gauge market interest, following a supplier engagement event. The buyer expects to publish a further notice on 11 January 2027; this is an indicative date, not a bid deadline. Feedback through the specified online form is expected by 12 noon on 12 October 2026, and noting interest means agreeing to further engagement. Revenue Scotland expects the platform to support at least five taxes and anticipates additional taxes and legislative changes over the contract’s lifetime. No estimated contract value or budget is stated in the process information.

The work is aimed at a strategic technology partner able to deliver and support a modern, UK-based cloud-hosted tax administration and case-management platform. Suppliers should have experience delivering platforms for complex administration and case management, with the technical capability to provide a configurable, scalable system for multiple taxes and changing policy requirements. Relevant strengths include taxpayer and agent portals, automated workflows, operational processing, integrations with finance, telephony and print-and-post services, and management reporting and data exports. The platform will serve up to 80 back-office users across different functional teams, as well as taxpayers and their agents. This planning-stage engagement is intended to inform the final requirements and assess market interest; it is preparation for a future tender, not an invitation to submit a bid.

## Notice

Revenue Scotland is seeking information from the market in relation to the next version of / replacement for its existing tax administration platform, SETS. The current platform supports the collection and operational management of devolved Scottish taxes. It enables taxpayers and their agents to submit tax returns and make payments to Revenue Scotland, and enables staff to process returns, manage taxpayer records through a number of statutory processes, reconcile inbound & outbound payments with tax declared, and undertake tax compliance activity and operational casework.

### Lot Information

The system will manage tax data, support staff in administering tax returns and taxpayer records, and enable efficient case management of statutory tax management processes, workflow automation, and integration with external systems.

Currently up to 80 back-office staff users across a range of different functional teams use the platform. Revenue Scotland welcomes engagement from suppliers with experience of delivering platforms capable of supporting complex administration and case management.
