Home Office appoints Leidos UK to deliver transformation of its biometrics platform
The new 10-year contract with the Home Office will see Leidos UK transition, operate and converge the core Central and Bureau elements of IDENT1 and IABS systems, collaborating with the Home Office and their partners to deliver the modernisation and disaggregation of these existing systems. Further to this, Leidos will deliver a full infrastructure transformation, converging both the systems on a secure and resilient public cloud-based platform, providing a springboard for further digital transformation of this critical service.
This project will not be making any changes to who can access IABS and IDENT1. Access will continue to be determined by the Home Office.
"We look forward to working with the Home Office and its partners to deliver transformation across the key components of the Home Office Biometrics transformation programme," said Tim Crofts, Leidos UK vice president of business development and strategy. "This capability is vital to the UK's security, border and policing services and we will bring to bear our 50 years' experience in delivering complex change to transform and secure critical services for government departments and agencies."
