£37M SAP overhaul could extend Capgemini's run with UK tax collector to 28 years

UK tax collector insists latest deal followed fair and competitive procurement

£37M SAP overhaul could extend Capgemini's run with UK tax collector to 28 years

The UK tax authority, HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), has awarded Capgemini a £37 million contract to migrate a vital tax system from SAP's legacy ECC platform to the newer S/4HANA. This contract extends Capgemini's relationship with HMRC, which began in 2004 under the Aspire contract. The Enterprise Tax Management Platform (ETMP) supports 40,000 users in tax returns processing, accounting, payments, and data management, handling over £800 billion in annual tax revenue and payments.

The new contract runs until 2032, potentially making Capgemini's involvement with HMRC's tax systems last for 28 years. Capgemini has been HMRC's lead technology supplier since 2004, with Fujitsu and Accenture serving as subcontractors.
