What the notice says

HMRC are considering the implementation (provide and configure) of a COTS (Commercial Off-the-Shelf) automated regression testing solution that is native to ServiceNow. The solution should automate regression testing across multiple environments, automate documentation and handover steps, reduce rework and enable faster and more reliable deployment processes. As part of this effort, HMRC are looking to engage with the market to better understand supplier capabilities in this space. Suppliers are invited to attend an early market engagement session to gain insight into the requirements and participate in a capability-scan exercise. Please note, this is a Request for Information (RFI), serving to inform about upcoming market engagement, and not a tendering opportunity.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
