This procurement is for a web-based reporting solution to measure and report on desk and room utilisation. It will be provided by a physical sensor recording motion and those sensors then sending this information to the cloud where an agreed set of reports provide the occupancy data.
HMRC is looking at options around a strategic solution. However, progress on this solution has been delayed, so a HMRC continuation of this tactical solution in the current 3 sites only for a further 12 months with the option to extend for 12 months if required.
HMRC therefore requires OccupEye Gold Level maintenance for the existing estate of sensors across the 3 sites, Dashboard Analytics Hosting and SmartView Cloud Analytics Dashboard access.
Procurement for the provision of Hyperscaler Services to enable Data Centre Exit
The objective of the programme is to exit all services from three managed data centres and decommission any remaining infrastructure within the current contract period of the incumbent data centre hosting provider (June 2028). The scope of the technical migration is currently all services supported by hardware in the three data centres. Other programmes may have plans to migrate services prior to the DCE exit date and once those programmes are confirmed, HMRC will de-scope from DCE as appropriate.
The procurement of a hyperscaler and subsequent award will provide a vehicle to deliver the technical migration to the public cloud of services within the scope of the programme, and their hosting for the remaining life of the contract. The specifics of the migration plan will be confirmed during the negotiation phase of the procurement process. The procurement of a hyperscaler will depend on meeting requirements that support an efficient, effective, and timely migration of the services within the scope, balancing cost, risk, timescale and without affecting service continuity.

At Autumn Budget 2024, the Government confirmed Vaping Products Duty (VPD) would be introduced from 1 October 2026. Following further technical consultation, the Government announced a Vaping Duty Stamps Scheme (VDS) to be implemented alongside the VPD.
The response to the consultation is available on GOV.UK.
HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has conducted a competitive flexible procurement exercise to appoint a Vaping Duty Stamp supplier via a concession contract.
The duration of the contract will be 5 years with an optional one (1) year extension period at the sole discretion of the Authority. The estimated total contract value (inclusive of any options) is £32 million (excluding VAT). This value has been calculated based on the indicative volumes provided within the Specification and using existing information on stamp duty costs, including engagement with International Tax Stamp Association (ITSA). The Authority anticipates that a third of the contract value is associated with delivery charges, which are a non-profitable element of the contract. This assumption is based on average delivery costs of UK postal providers, for National, European and International mail.
The Supplier will support the implementation of the Vaping Duty Stamp (VDS) Scheme. Under the scheme, businesses will purchase duty stamps directly from the appointed Supplier.
The stamp will be a physical product incorporating digital features for traceability and authentication and will also capture data; including information about the manufacturer or business who affixes the stamp, product details and product journey through the supply chain.
The scheme will be managed by the appointed Supplier, who will be responsible for production and supply, as well as providing the system for businesses to order, make payment, manage their stamps and collect data for HMRC relating to vaping products and the journey through the supply chain.
The stamp must be applied before the product is released for consumption, and associated data will be recorded in the Supplier's system.
