The UK Post Office has added millions of pounds to the value of its core contract to replace the Horizon IT system, in order to avoid “significant technical risk” in delivering the new platform.
In a newly published commercial notice, the Post Office has revealed that spending via lot 5 of its dedicated Digital Capability Framework – a segment which constitutes a deal with Accenture for the delivery of the organisation’s Strategic Platform Modernisation Programme (SPMP) – will rise by millions of pounds. The SPMP initiative covers the rollout of the rollout of the New Branch IT infrastructure that will replace the troubled Horizon system.
