InTechnology wins major NHS contract

YORKSHIRE IT group InTechnology today announced its first major contract win since it was bought for £65m by rival Redcentric.

Harrogate-based InTechnology Managed Services, which was acquired from founder Peter Wilkinson by AIM-listed Redcentric in November, has secured a major contract with an unnamed NHS partner, on a project to deliver enhanced IT infrastructure for the health and social care sector.

Redcentric said in a statement: “The NHS client awarded the contract having recognised that Redcentric is one of a handful of managed service providers to offer an accredited N3 connection service across a number of geographically dispersed state-of-the-art data centres with proven expertise in delivering Cloud services to the health sector. The contract is a multi-year agreement with annual revenues from the initial deployment expected to be a seven figure sum.

Redcentric said the partnership would deliver cost savings and round-the-clock support to the NHS client as well as “impressive levels of data centre and network resilience”.

Fraser Fisher, chief operating officer of Redcentric commented: “I am encouraged to see InTechnology continuing to win large and complex contracts. This win leverages the enlarged group’s data centre and network assets and our service offering is supported by a wealth of industry accreditations and a proven capability in the healthcare sector.”

Following the acquisition of InTechnology, the enlarged business has its headquarters in Harrogate with operations in London, Cambridge and Reading.
