Independent Technical Assurance SR592075601

Independent Technical Assurance Services required for replacement of substantial element of an existing HMRC application with a new system that will also provide opportunities for use of the technology in other areas. The system is being built using SAS technology. The system is used by HMRC to target non-compliance with tax returns and submissions. The system is expected to be delivered in February 2022. Existing HMRC risking system (called CONNECT) is coming to end of life and to ensure service continuity a new system is being developed to replace it. HMRC also has need to develop a strategic analytical solution that will enable it to carry out risking in other areas. The team will be expected to support HMRC development teams in assuring that the SAS solution being delivered is fit for purpose and implemented in a cost effective manner. This may involve attendance at regular meetings and/or submission of reviews of designs and proposals. There will be some flexibility over the working pattern, especially given the current pandemic situation. There is a need for the resource to be independent from the SAS organisation
