Lockheed Martin UK was awarded the two-year application maintenance and support contract, estimated to be a seven figure value deal, through the UK Government’s G Cloud III framework. This is part of the Highways Agency’s move towards using specialist suppliers with key strengths to deliver effective IT and drive innovation rather than rely on a sole IT supplier – leading the move in Government towards dis-aggregation of IT outsourcing contracts. The contract also includes applications support.
“The management of legacy applications is key to public sector organisations and is vital that organisations have a clear roadmap for application modernisation,” said Iain Cherry, Lockheed Martin’s government business unit director. “We will work in partnership with the Highways Agency to introduce flexibility and future-proofing to its applications estate, proactively seeking continual improvements helping them drive their ambitions towards being the world’s leading road operator. It is great to be working with the Highways Agency, an organisation that is so forward-looking in this area.”
Robert Greaves, Highways Agency head of ICT comments: “We are committed to ensuring we work as effectively as possible. Our IT strategy is about ensuring we deliver more for less through modernising and rationalising current applications and technology. A key part of that is empowering our workforce by allowing them to access the applications they need wherever they are.
“Lockheed Martin understands us and will help ensure we have a clear road-map moving forward that is focussed on the future and the continual service improvement needs of the Agency and our customers. The outcome will be a high performing ICT supply chain that is collaborative and flexible as well as offering better value for money.”
The Highways Agency is responsible for operating, maintaining and improving the 6,500 miles of strategic road network in England on behalf of the Secretary of State for Transport.
