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 Intellectual Property (IP) is owned by the incumbent.

The transformation programme to develop a new vetting system is separately being looked at by UKSV
