1. Background
In August 2013, Inland Revenue released the Transformation Market Brief which set out
Inland Revenue's vision for the future, transformation goals and desired outcomes. An
overview of the procurement process to engage a service provider(s) in relation to the
Business Transformation Programme (''Transformation Programme" or "the Programme")
was also provided.
The Transformation Market Brief signalled Inland Revenue's approach and work
undertaken to date to deliver a "Portfolio of Change" in response to:
•
the Government's goa ls to derive better va lue from publ ic services (including
more integ rated All-of-Government services);
•
interna l pressures including ageing business processes and technology
infrastructure; and
•
changing customer needs including dem ands to interact electronica lly.
The aim of Inland Revenue's T ransform ation Programme is to address t hese issues and
deliver tangible benefits, includi ng the ability to implement policy and legislative changes
more quickly, and to provide Inland Revenue's customers with a range of interactive
services and information.
To deliver this business-led transformation , enabled by technology, capabilities are
required across many areas including, project management, change management,
business ana lysis, business process reengineering , solution architecture and software
development. While Inland Revenue possesses some of t hese capabilities, the scale and
complexity of the transformation will require additional skills and expertise. Inland
Revenue expects to work with a number of service providers across a range of areas
over the duration of the Programm e.
2. Purpose of this EOI
The scope of th is EOI includes a range of potential work t hat is required to support the
T ra nsform ation Programme . The pu rpose of this docu ment is to seek expressions of
interest from service providers with the capabi lity, capacity and experience in relation to
that range of work.
Suitably experienced and qualified service providers are invited to respond to this EOI,
from which I nland Revenue intends to invite a shortlist of pot ential service providers to
participate in a Competitive Dialogue stage, as described in section 10.4 ( I nland
Revenue's procurement process).
At the conclusion of the procurement process, Inland Rev enue intends to engage a
service provider(s) to deliver the detailed design of the first stage of the Transformation
Programme and validation of remaining stages.
For future work, I nland Revenue m ay choose to engage further the selected service
provider(s) , approach the market, or use another appropriate procurement process to
select a service provider(s) .

3. New Zealand Government agenda
In January 2012, the Government outlined four priorities which Inland Revenue directly
contributes towards, these are:
•
responsibly managing the Government's finances;
•
rebui lding Christchurch;
•
building a more competitive and productive economy; and
•
delivering better public services within tight financial constraints .
Inland Revenue also supports the Government's overall Information Communication
Technology {ICT) strategy and Better Public Services (BPS) objectives
( www. ssc.qovt.nz/better-public-services ) by delivering lower cost, customer-centric
services and being focused on cross Government opportunities to improve the way New
Zealanders access Government services . BPS initiatives such as New Zealand Business
Number (NZBN) or ReaiMe will be considered within the Programme's design principles .
4. IR for the Future
4.1 Vision and transformation goals
Inland Revenue contributes to the economic and social wellbeing of New Zealand by
providing high-quality tax and social policy services to the Government and all New
Zealanders.
I nland Revenue works with customers and other organisations to make tax compliance
easy and to g ive New Zealanders confidence that everyone pays and receives the right
amount. Inland Revenue 's vision is to be a world-class revenue organisation, recognised
for service and excellence.
IR for the Future has been developed as I nland Revenue's strategic blueprint for change
to deliver this vision. It describes a business-led, technology-enabled Transformation
Programme that aims to transform I nland Revenue into a customer-focused, world-class
revenue organisation over several years . Specifically, IR for the Future aims to deliver:
•
efficient self-management options for customers that provide speed and
certainty;
•
a broader approach to compliance based on smarter use of information and a
wider range of interventions;
•
a range of different working relationships with other organisations, including
strategic partnerships to deliver some services;
•
less transactional work and less direct contact with customers;
•
excellence in complex technical work;
•
more automation and streamlined information flows;
•
greater use of commercial IT products in Inland Revenue's systems and services;
and
•
a healthy culture which Inland Revenue staff value and thrive in .

4.2 Summary of case for change
Inland Revenue needs to deliver existing services faster and more cost-effectively, and
to implement changes in tax and social policies more rapidly.
Technology improvements have raised expectations around service levels and the quality
of interactions. Customers now expect a seamless and secure online experience with
Government.
Given increases in complexity, and the fact that it has been over 20 years since Inland
Revenue 's last significant transformation, it is becoming difficu lt for Inland Revenue to
deliver its services from within its current framework.
Key challenges I nland Revenue is facing are outlined below:
•
Inland Revenue is increasing ly unable to rapidly and economically implement
policy changes and other Government priorities, such as the timely
implementation of the child support scheme changes ;
•
customer compliance levels are relatively high but they have been static or under
pressure and the targets set for 2015 will be difficult to meet;
•
taxation and social policy debt levels have been increasing , placing the integrity of
the revenue system at risk;
•
there is a risk of an operational failure that could severely impact Government's
ability to collect and distribute money; and
•
Inland Revenue is unable to satisfy the changing expectations of customers to
ma ke it easier and less costly to receive entitlements and meet obligations.

5.3 Customers and channels
Inland Revenue provides services to three broad customer groups:
•
Individuals and Families: all individuals who are not registered to pay GST or
PAVE (as an employer) . Families include customers who have Working for Families
entitlements and child support entitlements and/or obligations;
•
Business Customers: includes small and medium enterprises (individuals and
entities who are registered for GST and/or PAVE); large enterprises (including all
non-individual entities with turnover exceeding $100 million (NZD)); and not-forprofit enterprises (includes all entit ies exempt from income tax and not belongi ng
to large enterprises); and
•
Third Parties: organisations I nland Revenue works with to enable customers to
receive entitlements and meet their obligations. This may include organisations
that interact with a customer on behalf of Inland Revenue, interact with Inland
Revenue on behalf of a customer, or interact with the customer and may influence
the compliance of the customer. Third parties also include organisations I nland
Revenue supports to meet external regulations.
New Zealanders access I nland Revenue services through a wide range of channels
including internet, email, face-to-face, fax, paper, telephone, employer, and via third
parties. The internet is the most widely used channel, but a considerable volume of
paper is still required for filing returns and correspondence. Inland Revenue's preference
is to use digital channels to improve services for New Zealanders.
5.4 Application and technology environment
I nland Revenue operates a mixed information technology model, combining internally
owned and supported services with managed services and leasing via third-party
providers.
The current key applications and technology infrastructure comprise:
•
approximately, 1,920 'back-end infrastructure' assets;
•
Oracle/Linux environment (Server OS, RDBMS, Data Warehouse, Middleware and
I ntegration);
•
decentralised location, management and operation of infrastructu re ;
•
over 7,000 desktop clients used by staff for access to I nland Revenue's systems;

6. Transformation background
In May 2008 , Inland Revenue commenced work to stabilise its ageing technology
platform , FIRST. Through this work, it became clear that Inland Revenue did not have
the right operating model or capabilities required to deliver effective services in the
future.
Inland Revenue's Execut ive Board agreed there was a compell ing case for change and a
transformation agenda was subsequently initiated . To date, Inland Revenue has
completed work across the first two phases of the Transformation Programme and work
is currently underway to ach ieve the objectives of a ' Mobilisation' phase .
.
.

The Mobilisation phase is designed to deliver the following objectives:
agree the preferred option for the delivery of the Transformat ion
Programme in terms of the overall roadmap, scope, costs, benefits,
t iming and risks;
engage a service provider(s) to deliver Inland Revenue with the
detailed design of the first stage of the Transformation Programme
and validation of remaining stages ;
obtain all agreements, including Detailed Business Case funding and
contract approvals for Inland Revenue to engage a service
provider( s);
define the overall road map for the Transformation Programme and
other initiatives that Inland Revenue will undertake to deliver IR for
the Future; and
prepare Inland Revenue to manage and govern ongoing delivery of
the Transformation Programme.
Deliver:
This phase is focused on
provid ing In land Revenue
w ith the ability to
operate, as per the TOM,
through the
implementation of a set
of init iatives.
The Deliver phase will achieve the following key activities:
implement a governance model to enable oversight of the service
provider(s), design and the Programme;
onboard and manage the service provider(s) through the
established governance mechanism;
init iate and execute the functions necessary to deliver the
transformation;
segment the transformation into projects in accordance with the
proposed delivery model;
commence high-level monitoring of project progress to ensure the
delivery of outputs to plan ; and
commence solution and delivery of the t ransformation objectives.

7. Target Operating Model
The Transformation Programme involves systematic and comprehensive transformation
of Inland Revenue's operating model (involving people, processes, policy and platforms) .
The Target Operating Model (TOM) defines Inland Revenue's 'target state', as shown
below. Refer to Attachment 3 for additional information on the TOM.
Support
'System'
Figure 2 : Target Operating Model {TOM)
7.1 What will be transformed?
The TOM describes a transformed Inland Revenue that will result in:
•
a s implified and flexible organisation stripping out duplication and
complexity;
•
an agile way of working that will result in a faster time to market for
Government policy and reduced cost of change;
•
significantly improved core ' collection' and ' disbursement' functions that
w ill result in greater revenue collection and which can be leveraged across
Government;
•
a new way of working across agencies, including:
P age 116
October 2013
Ref: 2013050
•
•
•
sharing and coordination, across database systems, of trusted data to
improve productivity, accuracy, detection of fraud and forecasting;
•
breaking down traditional agency boundaries to enable cross Government
and third party distributed delivery of services; and
•
provision of ' expert services' to support cross Government risk and fraud
analysis.
t ra nsf o rming productivity through:
•
greater use of third party capability;
•
greater use of digital channels which may also significantly reduce costs;
•
increasing the agility of the business to use 'better practice' through
people, processes, policy and platforms;
•
the reduction of paper inside I nland Revenue; and
•
managing resources proactively to cope with demand peaks and troughs .
improve d inte raction of citizens and businesses with Inla nd Rev e nue
through:
•
the use of digital channels to improve access to real-time information,
provide greater certainty to customers, and make it easier for customers
to interact with Inland Revenue;
•
working towards enabling a single view for a customer across multiple
agencies; and
•
developing of current and future state customer personas and scenarios to
describe the desired future state customer experience across customer
segments, channels, products and services. Refer to Attachment 4 for
more deta ils.
7.2 How will Inland Revenue transform?
Inland Revenue's transformation will be separated into stages and delivered over a
number of years, subject to specific Government approval at various stages. To reduce
the risks of a large-scale transformation programme, each stage will consist of a number
of smaller, discrete initiatives. Multiple reviews will also be performed across initiatives
and stages with access to on and off- ramps where appropriate.
The scope and timing of the transformation will evolve over time and w ill be subject to
ongoing Ministerial approval. As the Programme develops and evolves I nland Revenue
expects the precise nature and need for support from service providers will also evolve
and change.

Scope of services
9. Scope of services
The scope of this EOI includes a range of potential work that is required to support the
Transformation Programme. The purpose of this document is to seek expressions of
interest from service providers with the capability, capacity and experience in relation to
that range of work.
Su itably experienced and qualified service providers are invited to respond to this EOI ,
from which Inland Revenue intends to invite a shortlist of potential service providers to
participate in a Competitive Dialogue stage, as described in section 10.4 (Inland
Revenue's procurement process).
At the conclusion of the procurement process, Inland Revenue intends to engage a
service provider(s) to deliver the detailed design of the first stage of the Transformat ion
Programme and validation of remaining stages. The detai ls regarding the scope of the
first stage will be provided in later stages of the procurement process.
For future work, Inland Revenue may choose to engage further the selected service
provider(s), approach the market, or use another appropriate procurement process to
select a service provider(s) .

10. Procurement process
10.1 New Zealand Government Procurement
New Zealand Government procurement is based on principles the Government Rules of
Sourcing and good practice gu idance. Collectively these provide a broad framework that
supports accountability, sound practice and successful procurement outcomes. This
framework is designed to attract creative and talented commercial service providers to
deliver innovative and effective solutions, and to provide the best value for New
Zealanders. See www .procurement.govt.nz for more details.
By encou rag ing productive engagement with businesses through smart procurement, the
Government aims to become more competitive in international markets and support
national econom ic growth.
10.2 Inland Revenue procurement standards and probity protocols
Inland Revenue has appointed an independent Probity Auditor (Audit New Zealand) to
formally audit each stage of the procurement process.
For each stage of the procurement process careful consideration will be given to any
specific probity protocols with a view to providing a fair and level ' playing field' for all
service providers. For more detailed information about procurement processes at I nland
Revenue visit www.ird.qovt.nz/ procurement which has been specifically designed for
service providers interested in supplying Inland Revenue.
This website also provides information on Inland Revenue's supplier feedback process,
which is a service managed by Inland Revenue. It provides an avenue for Participants to
provide feedback regarding any issues related to the procurement process.
10.3 Previous engagements
Inland Revenue has received assistance from severa l externa l service providers du ring
the plann ing stages of the Transformation Programme, including Capgemini and Ernst &
Young. When considering whether any past or existing service provider may participate
in further procurements relating to the Transformation Programme, I nland Revenue w ill
assess the scope of the service provider's prior engagement.
Where Inland Revenue considers that any advantage, or perceived advantage, a service
provider may have obtained by virtue of their prior engagement has been appropriately
mitigated, Inland Revenue may permit the service provider to participate in future
procurements relating to the Transformation Programme. This will depend on the service
provider complying with Inland Revenue's probity requ irements, which may d iffer
depending on particular circumstances.
Inland Revenue has made a decision not to exclude Capgemini from participating in any
future stages of the Transformation Programme, incl uding any procurement process for
the provision of transformation services, subject to any applicable probity requirements
being met.
Inland Revenue is aware that Capgem ini's involvement in the Concept and Scope phases
of the Transformation Programme may give rise to a perception that they have an
advantage in further procurement relating to the Programme. This EOI document and
P age 127
October 2013
Ref: 2013050
the supporting information provided have been developed with these considerations in
mind. Ernst & Young were engaged on the understanding that the services required to
develop the procurement approach for the Transformation Programme would exclude
them from participating in the procurement process.
10.4 Inland Revenue's procurement process
Objectives
Inland Revenue is conducting a four-stage procurement process to identify a service
provider(s) to assist with the Transformation Prog ramme. The objectives of the
procu rement process are to :
•
seek expressions of interest from service providers w ith the capability, capacity
and experience to support delivery of the Transformation Programme;
•
achieve high-quality of delivery by ensuring that contract(s) is/are awarded to a
service provider(s) who can meet the requirements specified by I nland Revenue
(section 12 Statement of requirements) in line with quality expectations;
•
achieve a cost-effective outcom e by agreeing commercial arrangements with a
service provider(s) that appropriately addresses scope, quality, time, cost,
benefits and risk; and
•

Expression of Inte re st {EOI):
The EOI stage aims to identify service providers with the capability, capacity and
experience in relation to the range of work required to support the staged delivery of the
Transformation Programme. The expected outcome of the EOI stage is a shortlist of
service providers to be invited to participate in the Competitive Dialogue stage.
Compe titive Dialo gue {CD): CD is a process recommended by the Ministry of
Business, Innovation and Employment for use in complex procurements. During CD,
I nland Revenue may engage in discussions with the shortlisted service providers on
proposed approaches and contractual documents, prior to a Request for Proposa l stage .
P age 128
October 2013
Ref: 2013050
Through CD, Inland Revenue aims to:
•
collaborate with a shortlist of service providers to create a shared vision and
common understanding of proposed approaches;
•
refine the scope and requirements of the Transformation Programme and assess
feasibi lity and alignment with the Programme's objectives;
•
develop and agree in principle a commercial framework, including indicative costs
and associated contractual documents; and
•
examine cu ltural f it and the suitability of shortlisted service providers to enter into
a relat ionsh ip with I nland Revenue.
T he CD process m ay include a series of briefing sessions, interviews and service provider
presentations covering key aspects of the Programme and proposed contractual
documents. I nland Revenue may also conduct site visits to the premises of service
providers or nom inated client reference sites.
Inland Revenue intends to send an invitation to t he shortlisted service providers from the
EOI stage to participate in the CD stage on 20 Decembe r 2013 . CD will commence in
m id-January 20 14 and is intended to run until the end of March 2014 . Service providers
who accept an invitation to the CD stage may be required to :
•
mobilise key personnel or teams to participate in the CD process;
•
engage in discussions on technical, commercial and legal aspects;
•
prepare and present relevant information during the CD process;
•
make available information requested by Inland Revenue for the purposes of the
CD stage incl uding additional referee detai ls; and
•
agree to terms and conditions for the CD stage.
Re quest for Proposal {RFP}: During the RFP stage, Inland Revenue intends to formally
request proposa ls from shortlisted service providers and ask that they outline their
proposa ls in terms of scope, quality, t ime, cost, benefits, and risks, and on the terms of
contractual documents developed in t he CD stage .
The expected outcome of the RFP stage is to identify a service provider(s) to progress to
the Negotiation stage.
N egotiation: In th is stage, Inland Revenue will seek to reach a final agreement on
contractual terms, conditions and specifications with a service provider(s) identified in
the RFP stage. Actual contract execution will be subject to necessary approvals, including
at t he Ministerial level. It will only be following any contract execution that Inland
Revenue is bound (on the terms of the agreement) to a service provider(s).
Set out in Appendix C are some minimum contract terms which I nland Revenue will be
reflecting in any agreement it enters into with any service providers in relation to the
Transformation Programme. Appendix C does not contain an exhaustive list, and the
wording in Appendix C does not represent the actual contract wording.

technologies relati ng to the application.
Page 165
October 2013
Ref: 2013050
The current appl ication environment consists of 13 application groups, which are
summarised below:
•
FIRST: central to Inland Revenue's current-state appl ication architecture is FIRST
{ Future Inland Revenue Systems and Technology). FIRST is an integrated and
generic tax-processing engin e that is function-based (rather than modular or
service-based).
The FIRST system is a complex ma inframe system built on Unisys COBOL 74 . It
has been developed and extended over the last 20 years. FIRST comprises 40
"tax types", tens of millions of lines of custom-developed and closely coupled code
with over 180 system interfaces.
The core processes of FI RST have been extended signif icantly beyond their
original purpose to incorporate social policy initiatives, which have been added
over t ime. The high-level v iew of the functionality embedded w ith in FIRST is :
•
client registration;
•
returns generation, processing and management;
•
pro-active actions;
•
payments processing;
•
refunds and payments distribution ;
•
client accounting;
•
revenue accounting, financial reporting and forecasting;
•
debt management;
•
inbound and outbound correspondence management; and
•
issuing of notices and statements.
•
Online services: as well as managing the static content for the public-facing
I nland Revenue web sites, online applications provide significant functiona lity for
customer interaction and calcu lation (e.g. myiR);
•
Voice services: voice applications support the call centre environments (e.g .
v irtual hold, voice biometrics);
•
Corporate services: corporate applications provide business functions that
support the efficient and effective running of the organ isation ( e.g. Human
Resource Management, payroll);
•
Output services: output applications support output t o the customer ( e.g .
notices, statements);
•
Le vies and duties services: levies and duties applications support the m inor
duties and certain Inland Revenue scheme details (e.g . envi ronmental restoration
account );
•
KiwiSaver services: KiwiSaver applications support Inland Revenue product
functional ity outside FIRST;
•
Business rules services: business rules applications deliver busin ess rules for
enterprise processes that support business operations, calculations, definitions
and policies;
Page 166
October 2013
Ref: 2013050
•
Case manage ment se.-vices: case management applications support the work
flow and information to support compliance case management;
•
Knowle dge management se.-vices: knowledge management applications cover
the organisational enquiry and knowledge management functions;
•
Se curity se.-vices: security applications manage user access to I nland Revenue
system and applications. They provide both user authentication (who you are)
and authorisation (what you can access);
•
Input se rvices: input applications support information input from the customer
(e.g . tax returns); and
•
Litigation se rvices: information systems (IS) that support a consistent and w ell organised defence of tax assessment.
