"In an official notice published earlier this month, His Majesty's Revenue & Customs announced SAP won the deal to "migrate the Enterprise Tax Management Platform (ETMP) from the legacy ECC6.0 product to its successor platform S/4HANA," which was first released in 2015. "As a modern software product, S/4HANA will provide improvements in flexibility and cost-effective[ness] having been designed from the start to be more user-centered," the government department claims."
"SAP plans to end mainstream support for ECC at the end of 2027, after which extended support will be available until the end of 2030 for a 2 percent premium. If customers have already signed up for a cloud migration and S/4HANA migration, SAP said a special transition option may be available until 2033 "for ERP customers with large and very complex IT landscapes.""
HMRC awarded SAP a £275 million contract to migrate the Enterprise Tax Management Platform (ETMP) from legacy ECC6.0 to S/4HANA. ETMP handles over £800 billion in tax revenue and payments annually. The contract was awarded without a wide procurement process and SAP was the sole bidder. The agreement is expected to last until 2035 and was classified as outside competition rules because SAP was judged the only supplier with sovereign capability. SAP will end mainstream ECC support at the end of 2027, with extended support to 2030 and special transition options to 2033 for complex customers. HMRC requires a UK-hosted SaaS solution and planned to decommission ECC6.0 by 2030.
