The industry category for this procurement is banking and investment services (CPV code 66100000). This contract involves significant transformation of the Core Banking platform and related technologies, as well as the continuation of Government Payment Services. Initially established between NS&I and Atos in May 2013, the agreement has been extended until March 2028, with a potential 12-month continuity extension. This procurement method was limited, without prior publication of a call for competition, due to technical reasons and the unique position of Atos IT Services UK Ltd in continuing the services uninterrupted. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in advanced banking technologies, business process outsourcing, and government payment services. Companies that specialise in these areas, particularly those with experience in managing complex, interdependent banking platforms, can find significant growth potential by leveraging this extended contract. The procurement method prioritised technical suitability, making it well-suited for established service providers like Atos IT Services UK Ltd, but the anticipated re-procurement after the contract duration opens future competitive opportunities for other businesses to participate in the upgrading and transformation initiatives of NS&I's Core Banking solutions. ## Notice A new agreement for extended provision of the Business Process Outsourcing Agreement originally established between NS&I and Atos dated 20 May 2013 (as amended and restated) until March 2028 (with a 12-month extension for continuity if required), to provide for the transformation of the Core Banking platform and associated technologies, and for the continued provision of the Government Payment Services (B2B) services, on an as-is basis, in accordance with the terms of the Business Process Outsourcing Agreement. ### Lot Information Lot 1 A new agreement for extended provision of the Business Process Outsourcing Agreement originally established between NS&I and Atos dated 20 May 2013 (as amended and restated) until March 2028 (with a 12-month extension for continuity if required), to provide for the transformation of the Core Banking platform and associated technologies, and for the continued provision of the Government Payment Services (B2B) services, on an as-is basis, in accordance with the terms of the Business Process Outsourcing Agreement. Options: A discretionary 12-month extension option is available for continuity if required. ### Procurement Information 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. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/002584-2025 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Jan 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 23 Dec 2024 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £474,380,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NS&I | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 3BT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLI32 Westminster | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ATOS IT SERVICES | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 66 - Financial and insurance services ### Codes - 66100000 - Banking and investment services ## Release History - 24 Jan 2025 at 15:41 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/002584-2025 ## Notice URLs - http://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/hm-courts-and-tribunals-services - https://www.nsandi-corporate.com ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
