Under the revised agreement, the service providers have been granted exclusivity on all project delivery for HMRC until April 2013 with a minimum revenue commitment on project work, in addition to exclusivity on data center services delivered through the subcontract with Fujitsu until 2015. The existing desktop service has also been extended, where Capgemini will act as HMRC’s procurement agent in respect of office IT equipment and consumables.
Capgemini, Fujitsu and Accenture have committed to save 110m pounds ($180.07m) a year for HMRC, in addition to the 70m pounds ($114.59m) per annum savings committed in 2007. The revised agreement will enable HMRC to reduce its IT running costs, which will be realized from financial year 2011/12.
Nigel Martin, CEO at Capgemini Aspire, said: "The latest change to the Aspire contract has been made possible by collaboration both with HMRC and Capgemini's Aspire partners particularly Fujitsu, our core infrastructure partner, and Accenture. The new agreement would not have been possible without our track record of reliable service and up to 200 projects delivered on time and within budget for HMRC."
The deal follows Capgemini's five-year contract worth 50m euros ($71.6m) from the IT Operations Service of the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality to support its office automation initiative.
