        "description": "The Home Office requires the continuation of Atlas Caseworking Non-Asylum services while a re- procurement is undertaken to replace the current service following a challenge and withdrawal of a 2025 procurement. \nAtlas is the Home Office's core immigration caseworking platform supporting operational delivery across Border Force, Immigration Enforcement, Visas and Status and related immigration services. The platform supports critical operational activities together with strategic programmes including Electronic Travel Authorisation and eVisas.\nFollowing the legal challenge to the 2025 Atlas re-procurement, the procurement was withdrawn and now a replacement procurement is being developed with market engagement launched in June 2026. To maintain continuity of critical services during this period, it is necessary to extend the existing contract.\nThe modification provides for a five-month extension to the existing contract together with associated value uplifts required to continue service delivery.\nThe modification is limited to the minimum period necessary to ensure business continuity while the replacement procurement and transition activities are carried out on an urgent basis to completion. The increase in value resulting from this modification remains below 50% of the original contract value.",

The withdrawal  of that procurement has resulted in a requirement to maintain continuity of critical immigration case working services until a replacement procurement can be completed. Market engagement for the new procurement commenced in June and is being progressed on an urgent basis.\nA change of contractor cannot be accomplished at this stage because it would cause significant inconvenience and substantial duplication of costs. The Atlas platform is complex, highly integrated and relies on specialist knowledge held by the incumbent supplier. Transitioning the service to a different provider within the available timeframe would require extensive procurement, mobilisation, onboarding and knowledge-transfer activity.\nSuch an approach would introduce material operational risk and would not provide sufficient assurance that critical services could continue without disruption.\nThe modification is therefore necessary and proportionate to ensure uninterrupted service delivery while the Home Office completes its replacement procurement and transition activities. The increase in value remains below the threshold permitted under Regulation 72(1)(b).",
