Extracts from an article by Oscar Williams, news editor for New Statesman Tech.
“IBM has topped a new ranking of public sector tech suppliers, winning more than £93m worth of awards in the first quarter of 2018 alone.
The US tech giant won five government contracts in the first three months of the year, including a single Ministry of Defence contract worth £80m.
It was trailed by Fujitsu in second place (£79m), Syntel in third (£37m), Mercator IT in fourth (£37m) and Softcat in fifth (£36m), according to analysis provided by Tussell. Softcat clocked up 35 contracts over the quarter, the most of any IT supplier.” […]
“Our data sheds light on some of the biggest IT & Telecoms suppliers, but it is important not to overlook the fact that nearly 500 SMEs also won IT & Telecoms contracts in Q1,” said Tussell founder Gus Tugendhat. “With more than a billion pounds worth of awards due to expire in the next 12 months, there is significant potential for firms of all sizes to win new contracts.”
