Logica-led consortium wins £157 million outsourcing deal with Serious Organised Crime Agency
The i2d consortium led by Logica has been awarded a 10 year outsourcing contract to deliver the Serious Organised Crime Agency's ICT and related services. Logica will deliver the contract with its key partners in the successful i2d consortium: QinetiQ, Detica and Cable & Wireless.
The programme is aligned with the Government's commitment to achieve savings through smarter use of technology, re-use of existing Government assets and shared services. The Cabinet Office's Efficiency Reform Group reviewed the supporting business case last summer and it was approved by the Home Office and Treasury.
The i2d solution will provide SOCA with a platform for improved collaboration with its partners, exploitation of intelligence and case management, as well as creating efficiencies through consolidation of data centres, networks and desktops.
Commenting on the agreement Trevor Pearce, Director General of SOCA, said:
"This contract secures an efficient and sustainable IT platform which will enable us to modernise and enhance our technological capabilities in fighting crime and improve the effectiveness of UK law enforcement in dislocating criminal markets."
Craig Boundy, Logica CEO, UK, highlighted:
"This is a fantastic win and clearly shows how we can use our expertise in deploying technology to help the Government deliver mission critical services while saving money in the process. We are delighted to have been able to work collaboratively with our partners to secure this key contract."
