Host, manage, maintain and running of The National Security Vetting System

This Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency (VEAT) notice relates to the provisions of services to host, manage, maintain and run Cabinet Office's UK Security Vetting (UKSV) Agency's National Security Vetting System (NSVS). This is a direct award for the services provided by the incumbent in the running of the existing NSVS system, which is a critical security system used by HMG and a significant component of this legacy system's IP is owned by the incumbent. The NSVS system sits in a highly secured accredited environment. This legacy system is about 10 years old and is in need of transformation. The transformation programme to develop a new vetting system is separately being looked at by UKSV.
