Speculation about Accenture’s continuation with its 10-year contract
as local service provider — a prime contractor role — for the Eastern
and Northeast clusters of the National Programme came to an end on 28

The termination followed several months of bad news about the
progress of both Accenture and iSOFT, its main software supplier. The
companies had fallen behind with implementation of the core

Accenture’s role as prime contractor in both clusters is being handed
to CSC, which is already responsible for the Northwest and West Midlands
cluster.
