Description

HMRC has an external spend in excess of £1.35 billion annually. Commercial Directorate (CD), who sit within the Chief Finance Officer's Group (CFO) in HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) have responsibility for and/or influence over all commercial arrangements covering this spend.

HMRC's commercial landscape and interaction with the market is changing significantly due to ongoing internal strategic programmes to transform its IT and Estates operations and as a result of increasing Spending Review commitments.

The requirement is for a Commercial Strategic Delivery Partner (CSDP) with the experience and capacity to strengthen current senior commercial leadership and to develop and deliver our Commercial Strategy.

To deliver this outcome, strategic direction will be set through our Commercial Strategy, which will continue to be driven by HMRC, and the CSDP will required to support and provide guidance on it. We are looking for a supplier that can deliver a partnership approach, improving on things that aren't working well but nurturing those that do, and be an integral part of the commercial leadership team.

The CSDP will provide the additional resources required to deliver business as usual requirements and drive delivery of the strategy in conjunction with existing HMRC commercial leadership and staff. They will collaborate with key internal and external stakeholders, including other HMRC strategic partners. Capability development of, and skills transfer to, both the profession and business areas will be a key requirement of the CSDP to deliver the desired outcome.

The anticipated outputs/milestones for the CSDP will be based around our Commercial Strategy Delivery Plan, which has the following high level timeline:
• Apr 16 - develop/implement
• Mar 17 - implement/embed
• Mar 18 - deliver and exit
HMRC are seeking to engage with organisations and consortia who might be interested in working with the Department to develop its requirements and commercial strategy.

Closing date of Tender - 12 noon 25th February 2016.
