The Home Office has awarded to consultancy Accenture two six-month contracts worth a total of £5m as supplier spending on the department’s new immigration caseworking platform nears £30m.
The rollout of the Atlas system, which was originally due to have been completed by the end of 2019, is designed to digitise and automate a system in which ministers have admitted some data “is only held on paper case files”.
Since April 2019, procurement data shows that the Home Office has awarded a total of eight supplier contracts for activities related to the development of the digital platform.
Specialist firm BJSS won a two-year, £9.89m deal running from March 2019, while in July 2020, PA Consulting was awarded a one-year contract worth £3.5m. Two smaller engagements, worth around £100,000 each, have been won by Atos and People Source Consulting.
