"Capgemini won the bidding on the quality of their work for us since 2001 and the excellent relationship they maintain with Atkins," said Linda Barker, IS head of finance and HR systems at Atkins.

"We especially value their commitment to total collaboration with our business, and to ongoing proactive innovation. We are delighted to be working with them for a further five years."

Capgemini has already helped Atkins move from locally-based IT facilities to integrated systems.

In future the focus of the work will be on improving cost-efficiency and customer service.
