The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) selected BAE Systems Detica as the preferred bidder for a six-year IT service management integration (SMI) framework. Detica said it expects to sign the SMI contract formally with the FCO in the summer.
Martin Sutherland, MD of BAE Systems Detica, said: “Being selected in the face of strong competition from large global IT players demonstrates our ability to bring the right capabilities to bear for the right solution. Over the coming months we will draw on the wider capability within BAE Systems, combining our delivery management and security expertise with the proven processes of BAE Systems Shared Services’ integrated service management team, in order to deliver a solution for the FCO that allows the organisation to achieve dynamic resilience in its IT infrastructure across the world.”
