Premier Foods has renewed a contract with Capgemini for approximately
£9m for the provision of services until 2014.
The deal is an extension of the firms' existing agreement for the support of legacy IT, a five-year datacentre project and technical support of core business systems.
The contract also includes additional services such as the hosting of Premier Foods' SAP systems, and work on new business intelligence software and a supply chain platform for the company's Hovis division.
In a bid to provide better value for money and boost service levels, Capgemini will use resources based in the UK, Poland and India to deliver services to the food producer.
Systems will run on hardware based at the supplier's datacentres in Rotherham and Bristol, while support will be provided by an infrastructure management command centre in Poland and an Indian development centre.
"By extending this [contract] to cover the hosting of all of our environments, both legacy and SAP, we are able to simplify and increase the resilience of services," said Phil McCallum, director of IT and infrastructure at Premier Foods.
