Capgemini will also provide consultancy services for Croydon's transformation programme to improve the level and efficiency of local services.
The council says the deal will enable significant investment in new technologies such as a wireless network infrastructure, the upgrade of key business systems and hardware and a new council-wide geographic information system.
Nathan Elvery, director of finance and resources at Croydon Council, said the existing deal with Capgemini, signed in 2003, has already been key in helping the council achieve a "step change" in IT effectiveness and overall business efficiency.
