That sounds like two separate problems ... the holding of the tag is
unrelated to the provision of a DNS server.

Ths IPS tag exists to make _changes_ to your domain easy via Nominet.
If you don't need to make changes (i.e. you have already identified
a stable set of DNS servers) then you don't have to have a tag. Future
changes will be difficult (i.e. non-automated, full letterhead, faxes
and so on), however.

Sounds like you need to identify someone to run yur primary DNS. If that
someone were a company, then they will probably have a tag of their own,
and all you face is a simple transfer. If that someone were an individual
hacker somewhere, then you need to get the current tag holder to make
the change in DNS records, then de-tag the domain. In that order, of course.
