""The objective of the programme is to exit all services from three managed datacentres and decommission any remaining infrastructure within the current contract period of the incumbent datacentre hosting provider (June 2028)," said HMRC in a tender document."
""The ... programme has identified that modern hyperscaler cloud technologies would be the preferred solution to transition to, whilst supporting HMRC's strategic objectives, without affecting business continuity or incurring an unaffordable cost of change.""
""There were three big providers selected and provisionally down-selected for the tender, which was AWS, IBM and Google ... but IBM has now withdrawn from the process and Google has pulled out, too," said a source."
HM Revenue & Customs requires a hyperscaler to manage migration of on-premise servers from three Fujitsu datacentres to the cloud as part of a 10-year datacentre exit programme valued at about £500m. The objective is to exit all services and decommission remaining infrastructure within the incumbent datacentre contract period ending June 2028. HMRC identified modern hyperscaler cloud technologies as the preferred transition solution to meet strategic objectives while preserving business continuity and controlling costs. Initial approaches included AWS, Google, IBM, Microsoft and Oracle; several suppliers have withdrawn, leaving AWS as the only remaining contender.
