BAE Systems signs new UK Procurement Contract
Β
Xchanging plc ('Xchanging'), the business process and technology services provider and integrator, today announces that BAE Systems has entered into a new contract for its procurement services in the UK for a further period ofΒ three years following expiry of the current UK contract at the end of 2012.
Β
The award of this contract follows the announcement in August 2011 of two significant contract wins, one with BAE Systems in North America, and a second with L'OrΓ©al in Europe. Together with the new BAE Systems UK contract announced today, which will have a lower margin than the existing contract, these contracts are expected to contribute towards Xchanging's aim of re-generating profitable growth momentum.
Β
Commenting on the new contract, Xchanging's CEO Ken Lever said: "In August 2011 we saw our procurement business make a step change with the addition of the two important contract wins. The new contract announced today will contribute significantly to this, enabling us to retain the benefits of scale as well as our core expertise and infrastructure in the important UK market. We have an extensive relationship with BAE Systems across three continents and this new contract will also support our wider relationship with this valued customer."
