The London Borough of Harrow is looking for an IT partner to develop major new systems in a deal worth £100m over 10 years – but insists it is not looking to outsource the IT function.
Harrow has issued a "prior information notice" about the deal and will be inviting bids from IT vendors when a contracts notice is put out later this month.
The notice is for an "incremental strategic partnership for ICT services" but a spokesman for the authority insisted it will not be an outsourcing deal.
"We are not looking to outsource it," he said. "We want an IT partner to come in and help us with some big projects including a contact centre and major back-office systems."
He said the union had been consulted on the move and that Harrow's 85 IT staff will not be transferred to the private sector.
