According to Computer World UK, Post Office Limited is looking for a supplier to provide front office IT
application services worth up to £636 million over 10 years.
"The procurement is to support the transformation of the Post Office

plans to modernise its business to become a modern, digital,

"The front office application services contract will cover customer
