French services giant Atos has won a new contract with the Ministry of Defence (MoD).
The outfit will provide support for the MoD CORTISONE programme which focuses on the transformation of Defence Medical Services delivery within the UK’s Defence services.
It aims to improve patient outcomes while maximising resource efficiency and the number of service personnel fit for the role.
Atos said it is working in partnership with the MoD to transform healthcare information systems to support evidence-based patient-centric healthcare for the UK armed forces.
The contract, which Atos said it won through a competitive process, will run for three years with an optional extension year and is worth up to £33.5 million, according to a report from Tech Market View.
Atos SVP for the public sector and defence of northern Europe, Nikki Kelly said that the renewed partnership allows for the continued transformation of modern Defence Medical Services provision by collaborating to deliver an integrated, cohesive and enduring capability to support evidence-based, patient-centric healthcare for all personnel.
Atos has supported the MoD for over two decades across a broad range of digital advisory services, IT transformation and IT service delivery, it said.
