IT services company Atos Origin has announced that it is the first supplier to sign a memorandum of understanding with the UK Government following the negotiations launched by the Minister for the Cabinet Office, Francis Maude, in July.
The agreement marks the start of a new single-client approach to engagement with central UK Government.
The company said that it will continue to deliver all its existing IT contracts to UK Government, and will look for further business opportunities, building on the agreed centralised approach.
It will also resume a number of projects in IT and outsourced operations that were placed on hold while the negotiations took place.
Atos Origin UK CEO Keith Wilman said that these important negotiations mark the start of a new era for Atos Origin.
"We have the expertise to drive transformation through innovative commercial and technology solutions and fully support the UK Government," Wilman said.
