Legal Justification

Competition is absent for technical reasons. As the incumbent service provider Atos and its key sub-contractor(s) are the providers of the existing NS&I Core Banking platforms, which rely on interdependent leveraged technology and resources. The process of dis-aggregating these at the same time as building and deploying a new Core Banking instance would be sufficiently complex that it can only be practicably carried out by Atos IT Services UK without very significant disruption to NS&I customers. It is to be noted that the contract award is of relatively short duration, so that the services, once dis-aggregated and upgraded, can be taken back to market and re-procured. NS&I intends to publish a Planned Procurement Notice in due course, in this regard.
