Key Findings & Highlights:
As well as occupational health services, Atos offers payment processing on a shared services basis. The renewal of the NS&I contract in May 2013 has boosted Atos' presence in payment services, opening up other new opportunities for the company. Components of the service, such as managing customer records and payments, can be shared and re-used in the public sector in areas where payments are processed, e.g. disbursement of grants and payments of fees. Atos has formed a partnership with NS&I called Government Payment Services (GPS), which has already won three payment processing contracts in the public sector. Given the appetite for shared services in the U.K. central government sector, we expect multiple contract wins by GPS in the next 24 months.
