UK comms regulator Ofcom has granted Tech services company Logica UK a new ICT outsourcing contract.
The contract is for an initial four year period with a possible one year extension, representing a Net Present Value (NPV) positive outcome of £10m over the 5-year term.
Ofcom forecasts an annual saving of £1.5m, representing an £7.5m saving over the 5-year contract term through to 2016.
The refresh and simplification of Ofcom’s existing ICT infrastructure will bring technical improvements that will increase resilience, drive environmental sustainability and lower its operational costs over duration of the contract.
Similarly, the new service is expected to reduce Ofcom’s ICT carbon footprint by 60% over the duration of the contract, which will be achieved by cutting the number of data centres and servers it uses in half.
