This report considers the implications of recent changes at BT Global Services
(BTGS) for its IT services business in the UK public sector. BTGS will be a
major force in the UK public sector for the foreseeable future. BT is one of
the strongest brand names in the UK public sector thanks to its significant
fixed-line telecoms business and its large IT services business, which is the
fourth-largest by turnover in the UK public sector. BTGS is a top-ten provider
in each of the public sector’s six segments (central government, local
government, criminal justice, defence, education and health). It has a strong
networked IT services business and a reputation for providing network
outsourcing and IT services in end-to-end outsourcing deals to UK public
sector customers.
