HMRC lines up 2B tech spend on cloud and IT services
"The UK's tax collector is budgeting to spend more than £2 billion on new tech deals in the next couple of years, including a contract set for AWS and another for Capgemini to be awarded without competition. According to a spreadsheet of the procurement pipeline for this year and next, His Majesty's Revenue & Customs (HMRC) is starting with a data warehouse transformation program with a contract value estimated at £410 million."
"The second-largest tech deal in the offing is for AWS Public Cloud Compute, with a value earmarked at £350 million. It is to replace an existing contract awarded to AWS for £350 million. The third in terms of estimated value is "Digital Platforms Run and Change Products," which asks for IT services to support application services including legacy live services. HMRC estimates this procurement will be worth up to £306 million."
HMRC plans to spend more than £2 billion on major technology procurements over the next couple of years. A single contract estimated at £410 million will transform Legacy Data Warehouses by combining run and change services with migration and decommissioning. The legacy warehouse technology is likely SAP ECC Business Warehouse, and SAP holds a £246 million ERP overhaul plus a £275 million uncontested tax system upgrade. A £350 million AWS Public Cloud Compute contract will replace an existing AWS deal. A Digital Platforms Run and Change Products procurement is estimated up to £306 million, and four further procurements exceed £200 million, including a £250 million Mobility and Workplace services contract.
