What is being bought

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) is delivering a market engagement session for the National Insurance and PAYE System (NPS) procurement. This involves the delivery of Business Application Support and Maintenance services for NPS and other services. The scope of this requirement includes: Business Application Support & Maintenance ("Run"), and A Change Management capability to support change aligned to strategic milestones, key business events, and legislative or business-driven updates. NPS currently operates on a legacy technology estate with limited modularity and scalability. HMRC's future ambition is to transition towards a more agile, service oriented architecture that supports strategic goals for Income Tax and National Insurance Contributions (NICs) administration, including increased real time processing capability. This investment lays the groundwork for future innovation by ensuring HMRC has access to adaptable and resilient support services that can respond effectively to evolving policy, customer needs, and technology opportunities.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 72. The category anchor is IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support (72000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
