Digital and Legacy Application Services (DALAS)

Crown Commercial Service (CCS), working with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), intends to procure a new Framework Agreement for IT Digital and Legacy Application Services (DALAS).

The DALAS framework intends to 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.

The procurement is being delivered using one restricted procedure split into two phases. Phase 1 includes Lots 2a, 2b, 3 and 5. Phase 2 includes Lots 1, 4a and 4b. Both Phase 1 and Phase 2 will each have a selection stage and an ITT stage.
