Cardiff Council Looks For IT Partner In 150m Deal

Cardiff City Council is looking for a technology vendor to help improve the way it delivers public services in a contract expected to be worth £150m over 15 years.
The local authority wants to reduce IT services spend, further integrate its systems and improve information sharing between siloed departments.



"Working with a partner or a consortium with a lead partner we are aiming to reshape services around the citizens and communities that use them," says a tender notice published by the council this week.

Large local authorities are increasingly turning to long-term partnerships with IT services providers to overhaul the way technology supports their public service delivery.



Birmingham City Council established a similar arrangement with Capita in 2006 worth £475m over 10 years.
