CSC has signed IT outsourcing contracts with five UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) companies and the Civil Nuclear Police Authority (CNPA), to provide an array of infrastructure services including desktop, help desk and network support, applications management and database administration.
CSC said that it will service the contracts through its Civil Nuclear Center of Excellence in Westlakes, Cumbria, UK, which is engaged in providing IT services to nuclear power clients. As part of the arrangement, UKAEA will transfer its in-house IT team to CSC.
The IT service contracts were signed separately with CNPA and each UKAEA company. The UKAEA companies, serviced under the separate contracts, are Dounreay Site Restoration, Research Sites Restoration, UKAEA Culham, UKAEA Ltd. and UKAEA itself. The contracts, each with five-year term, have a total estimated value of $50m (GBP31m).
At the time of signing contracts, the CNPA was provided IT services by the UKAEA, as it was the organisation’s previous parent body.
Nick Wilson, president of CSC’s operations in the UK, Nordics, Middle East and Africa, said: CSC is pleased to be working with the UKAEA group of companies and the CNPA. These contracts build on our position as the UK’s number one supplier of IT services and solutions to the UK civil nuclear industry. We now work for 14 different UK organisations operating in this evolving sector, as well as many others around the world.
