The England and Wales Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has announced a three-year extension to its contract with IT services company Logica, worth £113m.

The deal, which has been running since 2001, will see Logica continue to roll out the electronic case study management system (CMS) initiated in 2006.

The system is intended to help the CPS manipulate and transfer case information electronically and to be able to share it with other criminal justice organisations.

Logica is also delivering an enhanced IT infrastructure to the organisation and supporting a legacy case-tracking system that pre-dates the electronic CMS.

The supplier owns and manages the CPS’s IT assets and delivers intranet and internet services, case-management support, case-tracking support, consultancy and IT training services as well as an IT service desk, HR, payroll and finance support.

It is also responsible for the desktop computers and the supporting infrastructure, including the wide area network supporting 7,600 users.
