撤退二系統集成商增加到問題為越來越有爭議的民族性計劃。
二主導的系統集成商(SIs)從投標者候選人名單讓步了看跑 民族性計劃 (NIS)框架獲得節目。
BAE系統 并且 Accenture 他們摒棄計劃開辦介紹ID卡片為英國公民的項目的兩個證實了晚昨天，離開CSC、EDS、富士通、IBM、Thales和Steria為框架項目作戰它。
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.
