Capgemini has won a seven year outsourcing contract to provide back-office processes to Norfolk and Suffolk police forces.

Suffolk and Norfolk Police and Crime Commissioners have commissioned Capgemini to provide support and enterprise resource planning services to the district forces, in a deal valued at £3.75 million.

The contract is expected to deliver savings through increased efficiency while promoting collaboration between different forces through the sharing of support functions.

Stephen Bett, Police and Crime Commissioner for Norfolk, said: “Anything that cuts down on administration and process and frees up police time has to be a good thing. This is yet another example of collaboration between our two forces in action and will help both be more effective and more efficient.”
