Tata Consultancy Services has won a $65-million (Rs 292.5 crore) seven-year deal from Somerfield, a UK-based small-format food retailer, to provide a range of IT services.

TCS will take over the entire IT operations, asset management and planning for Somerfield. It will provide a managed IT infrastructure and applications service within Somerfield, enabling it to meet its current and future business demands, said a statement from TCS.

“TCS would be the single point of contact for the customer since we would be responsible for and monitor the execution of contracts that the customer would have with third party vendors,” said Mr Phiroz Vandrevala, Executive Vice-President and Global Head, Corporate Services.

The company would get a certain percentage of the $100-million worth of contracts that Somerfield has with hardware and other services vendors, he added, not specifying the percentage.
