HMRC will move away from the Aspire contract when it comes up for renewal in June 2017. According to HMRC’s chief digital and information officer, Mark Dearnley, ditching the deal will save taxpayers at least £200m in costs. The replacement for the Capgemini Aspire contract will likely be much shorter than 10 years and could be broken up into smaller parts. If Capgemini fail to win any of the new HMRC contracts they will lose just under a tenth of their total revenue and 60% of UK public sector revenues.
