HMRC awards AWS contract for three-data-centre exit

HM Revenue & Customs awarded AWS the hyperscaler-services contract supporting its exit from three Fujitsu-managed data centres.

Evidence boundary: This is a contract-award and execution milestone, not evidence that HMRC has already completed the three-data-centre exit.

What was reported

The procurement supports HMRC's programme to migrate in-scope hosted services away from three Fujitsu-managed data centres and onto AWS hyperscaler services.

Verified facts

  • The source estate comprises three managed data centres.
  • AWS is the named hyperscaler destination for the awarded scope.
  • The execution contract was awarded and the programme was underway from April 2026.

What is not established

  • Closure of any of the three facilities.
  • The complete application and workload inventory.
  • A final completion date for the overall exit.

PlatformTrace analysis

The contract materially advances the programme from intention into execution, but a procurement milestone cannot be represented as a completed infrastructure migration.
