The Department of Justice and Equality has awarded a five year contract for managed services to Capita Managed IT Solutions.
The company was selected from a competitive tender process run in conjunction with the Office for Government Procurement, and will provide the Department with an infrastructure service.
Capita, in partnership with Evros, will provide the Department with a solution utilising an infrastructure as a service (IaaS) model, including all computer, storage and networking services. The Department will be supported by a dedicated on-site technical team, a Dublin-based help desk and second line support team.
The new service has been designed to utilise existing government resources and investment, including the Revenue Commissioner data centre. The model will enable other public sector bodies to benefit by on-boarding to the Department’s shared ICT service.
“Capita’s model for delivering this comprehensive service,” said John Kennedy, head of ICT , Department of Justice and Equality, “will provide the Department and other public bodies a new, robust and scalable solution adhering to the principles of sharing and reuse as defined in the Public Service ICT Strategy”.
“With over 1,500 employees Capita already has a strong presence in the Republic of Ireland,” said Ed Brown, managing director of Capita Managed IT Solutions. “This new contract demonstrates our ability to support both public and private sector organisations as they adopt technology to enhance customer and citizen services. We look forward to working in partnership with the Department of Justice and Equality over the coming years.”
