The Authority is looking to identify a Supplier to take on and transform the existing services including; MFA SMS (OTP) and Voice Calling, outbound email and SMS capabilities (including multi device messaging), currently supported by multiple Suppliers. This new combined email and text service will be a part of a range of Communication Services that will support The Authority's strategy of communicating with the right customer at the right time through the right channel. Currently approximately 94 million SMS, 8 million voice calls and 220 million emails are issued per annum on behalf of HMRC. The current scope for the SMS and Voice Calling as part of the Multi-Factor Authentication service is: • to send a unique six (6) digit access code to a customer. The Authority will be responsible for the creation and duration of the validity of any access code e.g. 15 minutes; • the code must be sent to a landline or mobile via SMS ("transactional route") or Voice; • the user could be in the UK or abroad (anywhere in the world); • the SMS is sent using a single unique short code / unique Sender ID associated with The Authority - this must be provided by the Supplier. The current scope for Email and SMS campaigns is to provide: • help and support to our customers, • nudges and prompts, • provide reassurance and prevent progress chasing, and • seek customer feedback to help improve our services. The successful Supplier must deliver the new service in two phases: Phase 1: Transition of the existing range of services to one service solution. Phase 2: We are looking to exploit the top quartile capabilities provided in the solution to develop new and innovative ways of communicating with our customers, whether that be on a 121 or 1 to many basis, in a way that work seamlessly and through standard interfaces where necessary with The Authority's other Communication and Communication management services.
