Aspire contract between HMRC and Capgemini accounts for 84% of HMRC’s total spend on technology. HMRC let this contract in 2004, at first for ten years, and has since extended it to 2017. Cabinet Office now requires government departments to let shorter-term contracts for ICT and work with a wider range of suppliers to increase competition and promote innovation. Three years left for HMRC to reform its ICT approach, to meet government policy and replace the Aspire deal.
