In a first for Whitehall shared services, some of the jobs are likely to be transferred offshore.
The new venture, SSC, will provide shared services procurement and finance to the Department for Work and Pensions, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the Environment Agency in the second Independent Shared Services Centre (ISSC2) set up under the government's shared services strategy.
Today¹s Financial Times reports that the Cabinet Office hold a presentation to staff on Thursday, revealing which jobs were likely to be moved offshore.
The PCS trade union has expressed 'grave concerns' about the contract.
Georgina O'Toole of analysts TechMarketView warned that a lot of work remains to be done before the contract becomes reality. 'The contract is not due to be signed until just before year end. And it looks like the biggest hurdle may be pinning down the details around the off-shoring of some services.'
