The Cabinet Office required a managed service to deliver all aspects of National Fraud Initiative (NFI) in an environment that meets the Cabinet Office security requirements and is accredited against relevant Government Information Assurance Standards. The supplier was expected to ensure that the system is updated in line with future Government security standards and future changes to data protection legislation. The NFI is a complex project requiring expertise, flexibility and close collaboration. The supplier was required to work in partnership with the Cabinet Office to jointly drive innovation and continual programme development. For example developing enhanced data matching/analytics techniques, overcoming specific data related problems, contacting participants needing support and developing enhanced functionality for the NFI web application.
