NEW research: Steria & SSCL - a pivotal deal

At the beginning of the month Steria confirmed that it had won a ten-year contract with the UK Cabinet Office to set up a joint venture called Shared Services Connected Ltd (SSCL). SSCL will provide back-office services including procurement, finance and HR to Government departments. Steria will consolidate existing service centres at DWP, Defra, the Environment Agency and UK SBS, which provides shared services to Research Councils UK and other non-government department bodies. SSCL will also explore the possibility of supporting private sector organisations.

Steria beat TCS and Serco at the final hurdle to win the contract (see Steria wins £1b Government shared services deal for our initial coverage). When we caught up with Steria UK CEO, John Torrie, he described it as “a pivotal deal”, referring to the way that the Joint Venture (JV) is set to fundamentally change the way that Government transacts business. In this latest PublicSectorViews note  - Steria & SSCL: a pivotal deal - we explore the deal and what it means to Steria.
