IT Matters - £10M Accenture Deal

IT
The Supplement to the Official Journal of the European Union (11 March 2010) states that HMRC has singed a £10M deal with Accenture to improve the capabilities of its in house IT development team, IMS Solutions Development and Delivery (SDD).

Accenture will support "the transformation of SDD into a highly effective IT development and delivery organisation" and "improve the quality, availability and delivery of SDD developed applications/services".

The value of this contract (which has a fixed and variable portion) was initially estimated to be in the range of £18M to £36M. The variable portion could not be estimated at the time of publication of the contract award.

Therefore the final value of this contract is £10M, which is the value of the fixed price portion of this contract.

Tax does have to be taxing.

  1. I hope they send someone in to see what is needed and not just use the specs from the HMRC managers.

    Yeah, because the only specs the HMRC managers are interested in are rose-tinted ones!
