Un ritiro di due integratori dei sistemi aggiunge ai problemi per lo schema nazionale sempre più discutibile di identità.
Due integratori principali dei sistemi (SIs) si sono ritirati dalla rosa dei candidati degli offerenti che osservano per fare funzionare Schema nazionale di identità Programma di acquisizione della struttura (NIS).
Sistemi di BAE e Accenture entrambi hanno confermato l'ieri che tardo avevano abbandonato i programmi per fare funzionare il progetto che introduce le schede di identificazione per il cittadino BRITANNICO, lascianti CSC, EDS, Fujitsu, IBM, Thales e Steria per combatterlo fuori per i progetti della struttura.
The move means both SIs will miss out on the £5.3 billion allocated for the scheme, which will be used in the first instance to pay for establishing and managing registration processes linked to a biometric database.
BAE Systems said in a statement: “We withdrew because, at this stage of the competition, our assessment is that our bid would not contain every element necessary to deliver to the customer’s requirement.” But it did say it would continue to monitor the scheme “with interest”.
Shazia Ejaz, Accenture spokeswoman said: “The Home Office is in the process of pulling together a list of companies that will then be eligible to bid for future work packages, which together will deliver the National Identity Scheme. On this occasion, we have decided not to seek to be selected for this ‘framework’.”
Like BAE, she refused to be drawn further on its reasons for withdrawing, but instead added that Accenture remains committed to work on other government projects including the National Health Service (NHS) electronic patient records and picture archiving communications systems (PACS), a customer information system for the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and the electronic borders programme.
The withdrawals news follows reports earlier this week from the Conservative Party that the ID cards scheme had been delayed by at least three years, until after the next election.
