This has lead to a delay in the completion of all live migration tasks. It would be challenging for a new service provider to assume responsibility for the system in the middle of centralisation. Preparations for centralisation date back to 2018 and completion of it by the service provider adds benefit due to their extensive knowledge of supporting the system and from designing the approach to centralising it. There is no reasonable alternative or substitute available. If a new service provider were to assume responsibility in the middle of centralisation, there would be delay in all stakeholders migrating to the live centralised platform and that could have an adverse effect on public protection, particularly around record transfers when offenders move from prison to the community and vice versa."
