Tube Lines has extended its ВЈ10.5m ($16.9m) IT outsourcing contract with Capgemini UK for a three-year period to December 2013.
Capgemini will be the official IT partner and will provide IT support including infrastructure, applications and networks, as well as service desk support for about 2,500 desktop users at Tube Lines.
The majority of work on the contract will be carried out from Tube Lines premises and Capgemini sites in the UK, with additional support from Capgemini centres in India and Poland.
Capgemini, as prime contractor, will also meet the work for a number of major subcontractors including BT Engage, InTechnology and Servo.
Tube Lines became a subsidiary of Transport for London in June 2010, and the contractor, under direct management of London Underground, maintains the trains, tracks and stations for London's Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly Lines.
