Outsourced Royal Mail's IT in the largest IT Outsource to date in Europe (in 2003)
The Situation
Royal Mail’s IT was all serviced in-house and was a very fixed cost reducing the senior management’s ability to transform Royal Mail
The Task
Reduce the in house IT cost from £400-330M and manage the Outsource of £330M per year IT cost down (by half) by outsourcing it through EU Public Procurement
Change it from fixed to variable cost
The Action / Approach

The Result
Advertised in OJEU Journal as 10 year deal worth £3.3bn
Delivered 10 year deal costing £1.45bn
