LONDON (Alliance News) - Outsourcing company Capita PLC Monday said it has won a GBP325 million contract to deliver a single shared network for all public sector organisations within Scotland.
The nine-year Scottish Wide Area Network deal will see more than 4,600 sites be connected to a network including schools, hospitals, GP surgeries and local council offices. The project aims to establish a single shared network and common ICT infrastructure across Scotland's entire public sector.
Capita said it hopes to provide benefits such as reduced costs, improved service and the ability to share data across organisations, fostering co-operative working.
"This is an important contract win for Capita, placing us at the heart of public service delivery in Scotland and providing us with a platform to offer additional services and build our business here," Chief Executive Paul Pindar said in a statement.
The stock was trading at 1,058.00 pence Monday morning, up 8.00 pence or 0.8%.
