They might want to review those T&Cs again, carefully, including the z/OS.e T&Cs. There's a new kid in town, zNALC, and depending on the circumstances CICS can be a qualifying workload. It now depends on the *application*, not the *technology*, regardless of whether it's IBM or non-IBM technology. (That is a very good thing IMHO. CICS, for example, has gotten so modern in its capabilities that it no longer makes sense to automatically exclude it from "new workload" criteria.) Pre-existing z/OS.e might be another issue.
