About the buyer

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) is the UK's tax, payments and customs authority, and buys as a non-ministerial government department through its own Commercial Directorate. Contract opportunities are advertised on the government's Find a Tender service. Suppliers register interest in live opportunities through the SAP Ariba eSourcing system. Core supplier details are recorded once on the Central Digital Platform. HMRC aims to trade with small and medium-sized businesses wherever feasible. Much of this procurement flows through Crown Commercial Service frameworks and dynamic markets. HMRC's own Purchase Order Terms and Conditions govern its lowest-value, lowest-complexity contracts.

Procurement spend from central entities makes up 66% of overall UK public spend.

Over the past 5 years, most of HMRC's contract awards have been in IT services, software and information systems and business services.
