Councils are actually doing this to save millions. IBM has been chosen as favorite bidder for a big IT and outsourcing contract with Taunton Deane Borough Council and Somerset County Council. The deal is worth £400 million, which will span over the next ten years.
Under the agreements of the deal, IBM will coach the Improving Services in Somerset (ISiS) transformation program so that joint partnership with the two councils can be done and take over and thus run the finance, human resources, ICT, procurement, property services, facilities management, customer services and support services for both the operating councils. The revenues along with benefits service will also be provided in conjunction with Taunton Deane.
IBM's team is working on to finalize different terms and conditions of the deal, the contract is expected to be signed by 3 months time.
