Description
Crown Commercial Service (CCS), working with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), has procured a new Framework Agreement for IT Digital and Legacy Application Services (DALAS). The DALAS framework will provide a strategic gateway to support the delivery of future application services and move HMRC toward an application services support model that is less dependent upon legacy technologies. The framework will provide a commercial vehicle to replace existing contractual arrangements that are due to expire between September 2023 and January 2025, and will provide the basis for letting a large proportion of HMRC future application services requirements. The framework will also be available to be utilised by Central Government Departments and all other UK Public Sector Bodies, including Local Authorities, Health, Police, Fire and Rescue, Education and Devolved Administrations. Phase 1 has been delivered which includes Lots 2a, 2b, 3 and 5. Further information is provided at section VI.3 Additional Information.
