The government has announced it is to give £500 million worth of IT consultancy work to suppliers.
Firms that will benefit from the deals include Atos Origin, Accenture and Fujitsu, ComputerworldUK.com has reported.
By winning the contracts, the firms may have helped secure the future of their employees looking to enjoy IT careers.
The deals are know as framework agreements, they last for three years and hope to reduce the cost to central and local government of buying services as and when they are needed.
