techUK is delighted to partner with NS&I (National Savings and Investments) to host the first in a series of strategic industry engagement events to help the organisation meet its changing digital, data, operational and technology requirements.
National Savings and Investments (NS&I) is an Executive Agency of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and a Government Agency. It is one of the UK’s largest retail savings organisations with over 25 million customers, best known for Premium Bonds, but also offering a wide range of other savings products. As it is backed by HM Treasury it offers 100% security on every penny of the over £179 billion currently invested. It is one of the largest savings organisations in the world, as well as a source of cost-effective debt financing. In addition to the services it provides directly to UK savers, it also delivers services for HM Treasury, the MOJ and HMRC.
NS&I manages over £179 billion in retail savings, and is planning a programme of change to modernise and transform its IT estate and services in order to deliver the best possible service and proposition to its customers and colleagues – the Rainbow Programme. This programme aims to deliver a sustainable, scalable and flexible business fit for the future.
techUK will provide NS&I with a platform for sharing information with the digital, data and technology supplier community; to ensure the organisation is able to keep the community informed about current and emergent needs; and to allow it to develop a clearer view of capabilities and developments in the market which can support and deliver its transformation.
This kick-off session will include introductions from HM Treasury and NS&I’s Chief Executive Officer, Ian Ackerley, to provide context on the purpose and mission of the organisation. Attendees will then be given a high-level overview of the Rainbow Programme by NS&I colleagues who will present the vision, strategy and future services; and an outline of upcoming procurement opportunities, including details of proposed sourcing routes and procurement timelines.
Attendees will also be able to put any questions to the Rainbow Programme team, so this event is a fantastic opportunity to find out more about NS&I’s strategy and how your digital services could help NS&I achieve its vision.
