About DALAS
The DALAS framework set up by CCS working with HMRC, is a key enabler for HMRC’s digital strategy and will help deliver the HMRC vision of ‘using technology and innovation to deliver on its ambition of becoming a modern and trusted tax and customs authority’.

DALAS will provide the foundations for letting a large proportion of HMRC’s future complex suite of application & development services to a new multi-supplier, multi-year framework in a phased approach with the aim of taking a more Agile approach, increasing the speed to market of specific work packages, and improving competition amongst DALAS suppliers.

HMRC expects to spend up to £2 billion through DALAS in the next four years, with other Public Sector organisations also planning to adopt the framework to access a range of IT digital services and accelerate the move to application support that doesn’t depend on legacy technologies.
