"The UK's Home Office has signed a new deal with Oracle for around £54 million ($72 million) in cloud infrastructure and platform services as it gears up as the centerpiece of a government shared services strategy based on Big Red. In the form of a license subscription notification, the Whitehall department responsible for policing, immigration, and passports struck the contract from a pre-agreed framework deal for back-office software, which is worth a maximum of £5 billion ($6.7 billion) to all vendors signed up. Over five years, the call-off contract for Oracle is worth £53.55 million ($72 million) for cloud services. It is set to start next month and will end in 2030."
"As part of the deal, Oracle will provide a portal updating the service availability for cloud services and other information, according to the published contract. Other details of the contract are heavily redacted. The Home Office has long been wedded to Oracle both in terms of business applications and data warehousing. Until 2021, it relied on Oracle E-Business Suite to support nearly 30,000 users. Later that year, it celebrated its migration to the Oracle Fusion suite of applications built on the Oracle Cloud Platform, hence the need for PaaS and IaaS deals with Big Red. Along with a group of six other departments, its Oracle estate was supported by SSCL, a former joint venture now wholly owned by French outsourcing giant Sopra Steria."
