About ICM

What is the Intelligent Customer Mechanism (ICM)?

A collaborative way of working which enables the UK Government to manage its information in an assured way

Why is the ICM needed?
  • There is no joined-up, cross-Government means of acquiring trusted IA
     
  • The traditional approach to IA procurement is far too slow
     
  • Neither Government nor Industry can understand the aggregated IA need or necessary provision
     
  • The external landscape is one of rapid change, resulting in increased threat
     
  • The UK Government needs to maintain a sovereign IA sector
