HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) are tendering for a partner to work alongside internal technical specialists in the development of an Insolvency Analytics Solution for managing insolvency risk.
To assist HMRC to bring in the tax owed to the Exchequer, we are seeking expertise and support from an external partner for the development of a predictive analytics solution that will alert us to emerging insolvency risk. The external partner must have highly relevant experience of modelling insolvency risk, for example from working on projects of a similar scale for other tax administrations, major retail banks, telecommunication or utility companies.
HMRC will provide its own technical specialists to work with the external partner to create the analytics solution, using (as a minimum) HMRC existing data and tools.
During the development the partner will be required to co-locate within HMRC premises and take a ‘knowledge transfer’ approach to provide our staff with the knowledge, skills, and technical documentation needed to iterate and adjust the analytical solution with little or no ongoing support. A requirement will be for HMRC to own the Intellectual Property Rights for the eventual analytics solution.
HMRC is currently undergoing a major IT transformation. The analytics solution must be developed in a manner that will allow it to be readily integrated into, and used on, HMRC's IT infrastructure platforms. It will also need to be sufficiently flexible for HMRC to adjust or rebuild it to retain its functionality after any changes to HMRC's IT infrastructure.
HMRC will project manage the overall insolvency analytics project to deliver the solution to operational teams, but the contractor will be required to provide the resource and the plan to manage their analysts and their work, feeding into the overall HMRC Project as a specific work stream.
HMRC is not seeking to procure any additional IT or data analytics tools as part of this procurement.
The estimated value of £5 million provided at II.1.5) and II.2.6) is the total maximum budget including contingency and tendered charges therefore must be within this budget.
Full details regarding legal, economic, financial and technical information to be provided at the tender stage will be detailed in the tender documentation. Potential Tenderers should be aware, however, that they may be required to forward the following information:
(a) A copy of the most recent audited accounts covering the Tenderer's last 2 years of trading (or for the period that is available if trading for less than 3 years) or
(b) For the most recent full year of trading, where this information is not available in audited form, a copy of the draft or unaudited financial accounts or equivalent information showing the Tenderer's turnover, profit and loss and cash flow position and an end period balance sheet or, where this cannot be provided, a statement signed by the finance director or similar responsible person detailing any major changes in the current financial position since the date of the latest audited accounts provided.
