CSC has landed six new deals worth £31m with the Civil Nuclear Police Authority (CNPA) and five UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) companies.

The contracts will see the outsourcer provide the six organisations with a number of infrastructure services including desktop, helpdesk and network support, applications management and database administration.

The UKAEA was restructured into separate companies early in 2008 and, following a review of the business later that year, the authority decided that continued in-house IT provision was "untenable" in the long term and instead opted to embrace outsourcing.

Under its outsourcing contracts with CSC, the UKAEA's IT team of around 40 will transfer to CSC.

All the deals announced this week between the CNPA and UKAEA and CSC will last for five years.
