techUK is delighted to partner again with NS&I onvits Rainbow Programme engagement, this time inviting suppliers to another event focused on the fourth of NS&I’s four procurement packages: Core Banking, Payments and Reporting.

This package will procure a strategic supplier of managed services to deliver and integrate core banking services and systems of record, including: customer accounts and account lifecycle management; pooled accounts; payment verification and transaction processing; interest calculations and capitalisation; statement generation; product development and lifecycle management; general ledger and product accounting; fraud detection and monitoring; account and customer management information; insight capabilities; reporting and knowledge management; and Open Banking.

Joined up data and proactive insight capabilities, leveraging a range of data sources, not limited to the core banking system

Make knowledge & insight available to other services, which could include:

Effective collaboration with other NS&I Suppliers through transition and operational phases

NS&I views this event as the perfect opportunity to receive feedback from industry to help shape the Core Banking, Payments and Reporting package and explore the viability of our approach.

During this event NS&I will:

share its vision and indicative timelines;
share its thinking on the people, ways of working and technology capabilities needed to support this package;
gain your insights and constructive challenge on relevant proven and emerging industry best practice; and
benefit from your insight into the optimal alignment between its requirements and that best practice.

As NS&I looks to disaggregate its contracts, the organisation is keen to access the best capabilities contained in the market; and all sizes of companies are encouraged to join if they think they have relevant solutions.

Book your place now for this exciting briefing!

Supplier sessions

NS&I would like to speak with several suppliers directly after the event to listen to feedback on the requirements and challenge areas of our thinking. If you are interested in participating in one of these sessions, please contact NS&I directly at [email protected] stating your organisation’s interest and availability. NS&I will select a representative sample of service providers, software vendors and partners to assist with this process. Whether you participate or not does not have any bearing on your ability to bid for the opportunity. Sessions are expected to take place in February 2022 and further details will be announced in due course
