HMRC look to provide an incentive voucher to users within
and outside the UK that have taken part in research for our
Digital Services. Where users are recruited through the
HMRC User panel we issue vouchers to thank the Users for
their involvement. Because of user locations we would like
the option for the vouchers to be redeemable in both the UK
and internationally (Counties within the EU, as well as
Norway, Iceland and Switzerland, however, these will be
minimal).
HMRC will require the supplier to provide paper incentive
vouchers to offline users for taking part in the user research
to support the development of our digital platforms. If
supplier unable to issue directly the supplier will provide
paper incentive vouchers to HMRC, who in turn will issue to
their users.
Vouchers will be required in a combination of digital and
paper/card voucher format (which must be suitable for
offline users) as prescribed by HMRC and all must be
available to use outside the UK. HMRC will require all
vouchers to remain valid for at least 1 year.
HMRC require a project management tool for tracking issues, bugs and tasks in software development and a collaborative workspace where teams can create, share and manage documentation and knowledge. These tools need to be able to integrate to allow teams to plan projects, track progress and maintain organised accessible information. The solutions need to be integrated to allow for transition between project tracking and documentation as well as being highly customisable to support complex workflows across software, business and IT teams. The system also needs to be compatible with a range of plugins that HMRC already utilise and requires robust permission controls to maintain the security of HMRC systems. HMRC are planning to consolidate multiple siloed software instances across CDIO, ECS, DPS, EIS, B&T/CDS and HMRC Digital into SaaS based platforms. This is focusing on the need to procure the following licenses for the Atlassian Jira/Confluence software. License requirement: Atlassian Enterprise Cloud, 9000 Users for Jira, Confluence Bundled with Rovo for 9000 Users Atlassian Guard Premium 9000 users, Jira Service Management Enterprise 300 Agents, Jira Product Discovery Premium 1000 Users.
HMRC require a universal DevOps solution, providing end-to-end automation and management of binaries and artifacts through the application delivery process improving productivity across HMRC's development ecosystem. HMRC are planning to consolidate multiple siloed software instances across CDIO, ECS, DPS, EIS and B&T/CDS into SaaS based platforms. HMRC requires freedom of choice supporting 25+ software build packages, all major CI/CD (Continuous Version 1.0 3 Integration and Continuous delivery/deployment) platforms, and DevOps tools HMRC already use. This is focusing on the need to procure the following licenses for the JFrog Binary Repository and Software Contextual Analysis software. License requirement: Cloud Enterprise+ 2 SaaS Platforms True-Up Consumption.

The provision of Employee Experience and Engagement Tools, across a one year initial term, at a value of £1,916,104.25 excluding VAT and £2,299,325.10 including VAT. The above figures include the initial term of one year, plus the one year optional extension.
Qualtrics will provide a suite of employee engagement tools to HMRC.
The Contract duration will be one year, with an optional one year extension.
The value of the contract is £1,121,622 for the initial term, and a further £1,177,703.10 for the extension year.
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.
