CSC in the UK was founded in 1967. Since then we have grown into a £1.5 billion business through exceptional organic growth and a number of key strategic acquisitions. We now have 7,500 members of the CSC team located across 100 sites in the UK and Ireland.

Highlights

• In the 1960s we grew into Europe to support large government defence contracts and in 1968 were awarded a contract to develop the world's first automated customs clearance system at Heathrow Airport.
• 1980 saw another historical contract when the UK embarked on a project for the British Tax Administration, one of the largest civil computing projects of its time.
• In 1988 we acquired the Index Group, a leading US consultancy with a base in the UK and three years later another London-based IT consultancy Butler Cox, giving the UK a strong base in strategic and IT consulting.
• 1993 saw us win our first outsourcing deal - a £120m,11-year contract with high street retailer Bhs, closely followed in 1994 by what was then the largest outsourcing contract ever, from BAE Systems (formerly British Aerospace) - £134m over 10 years. These were followed by many other outsourcing deals across all industries, including contracts with Autoglass and Anglian Water Group.
• By the late 1990s global CSC deals started to impact the UK division, with JPMorgan joining the list of clients. This was quickly followed by new partnerships with DuPont and US giant General Electric.
• 2000 saw us acquire IT Services Ltd., a subsidiary of British Nuclear Fuels. As part of the agreement BNFL signed a five-year outsourcing contract with CSC, which has since been extended.
• In the first half of this decade we won new outsourcing business that included Schroders, Zurich Financial Services, National Grid, as well as Royal Mail. Royal Mail was one of our largest outsource deals, with 1,500 staff joining us in the UK.
• We also signed a contract with the National Health Service (NHS) in the West Midlands and North West of England, as part of its national programme to improve healthcare service for patients.
• In 2005 we signed contracts with companies including Sun Microsystems, Allianz Cornhill and Anglian Water Group.
• In 2006 we were awarded an additional contract with the NHS as part of the National Programme for IT to improve healthcare services for patients in the North East and East of England.
• New business for CSC in 2007 included a business process outsourcing contract with the UK Borders Agency, an IT outsourcing contract with Urenco - a leading supplier of enriched uranium to nuclear power utilities worldwide - and extensions to existing Network Rail, BHP Billiton and Department of Health contracts.
• In 2008 we started working for Virgin Atlantic Airways, re-signed a new seven-year contract with Bombardier Transportation and signed a further contract with Urenco.
• We began this year by winning a new contract with United Utilities, and since then have signed IT outsourcing contracts with five UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) companies and the Civil Nuclear Police Authority (CNPA) as well as winning a 10-year managed IT services contract to upgrade the Identity and Passport Service application and enrolment system.
