Wiltshire County Council has
signed a seven-year, £12m contract to improve its frontline support services as
five local authorities in the region prepare to merge.
The project, led by IT services supplier
Logica, will cover upgrades to finance,
payroll and human resources (HR) systems and aims to save £11m a year over the
full term of the deal.
Logica was chosen for its experience of operating
shared
services, said Carlton Brand, dDirector of resources at Wiltshire County
Council.
“The creation of a single authority is a major undertaking for us and we
needed a long-term partner with experience in creating and operating a shared
services model to assure our drive for efficiency and value for money can be
achieved," he said.
Logica will set up a shared services centre to support the enlarged unitary
authority and will host a centralised system for the new council, containing all
financial and HR information.
The councils will start merging to form one local authority for Wiltshire
from April 2009.
