Deloitte has won a post-Brexit customs contract from HMRC of up to £100 million.

The “potential seven-year” Single Trade Window (STW) tech partnership will reportedly see Deloitte design, build, operate and maintain a new digital system for businesses trading across the UK border.

The STW project, which forms part of the government’s wider 2025 UK Border Strategy, is intended to provide traders with a single digital platform through which they can submit information once only, with data then shared, as required, between all relevant teams and agencies.

In an announcement, HMRC said the chosen supplier will need to work flexibly with the STW Programme and its delivery partners across HMG departments to ensure the service design and delivery of the STW is fit for now and for the future, to enable the range of ambitious border transformations that government is undertaking.

It added that its ambitions include the integration of supply chain data into HMG’s border model and ultimately implementation of the Ecosystem of Trust model which HMG is currently piloting with industry.

While the project is being led by HMRC, in its announcement of the Deloitte contract, it noted that the STW programme is a cross-government project and priority and that all departments and agencies that have a presence at the border are engaged as key delivery partners.
