Digital Delivery Centre support for new HMRC services

To build on previous delivery success, HMRC is looking for a partner to help with new digital service development bringing a range of DDaT capability covering user-centred design and technical skills.

Problem to be solved HMRC require a partner to deliver both the design and technical aspects of new front facing digital services developed in Scala using a micro-service architecture, meeting Government Digital Service standards.

This will include (but is not limited to) providing technical agile specialists incorporating work in scrum teams and delivering in phased sprints.

Specific delivery requirements will be managed through outcome based statements of work covering a variety of new service initiatives.

We will look to provide support from Product & Delivery roles where suitable, assigning a Product Manager responsible for acceptance of deliverables.

Our delivery centres also include suppliers supporting existing beta/live products and services, and co-working should be expected dependent on the service.

Working arrangements All work will be completed in line with Covid-19 restrictions and our 3rd party access policies.

We expect a significant portion of work can be completed remotely/at supplier's office location, however resources will be expected to attend key agile ceremonies where a multi-supplier model is in place.
