Same again for the DWP
The contract to deliver medical advice and assessment services to the
Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) has been awarded for the second time
to Atos Origin. The renewal, worth more than £500m over seven years, can
be extended by up to five years under two extension clauses, taking the
potential total value to over £850m.
Incapacity benefit, disability living allowance, industrial injuries,
disablement benefits and others, will continue to fall under the
management of the company, which will also provide services to the
Ministry of Defence Veterans Agency.
“In delivering this contract, we will draw upon the experience and
expertise of our medical, business consulting, systems integration and
managed operations teams”, commented company spokesman Xavier Flinois.
“Together they will identify and implement best practice processes and
technology solutions that will improve the quality of service that we
provide to the DWP.”
