Accenture leading pack for Unilever outsourcing contract - report

CBR Staff Writer Published 13 February 2006

Management consultancy firm Accenture is set to become the beneficiary of GBP500 million outsourcing deal awarded by consumer goods giant Unilever, according to a report by the Times.

While nothing has been officially confirmed, the paper suggests that Accenture is the leading contender for the contract and that an official announcement concerning a deal is likely to be made in mid-March.

The speculation comes amidst a number of big contract wins for Accenture. The firm recently signed a GBP329 million human resources outsourcing deal with BT, and fended off a consortium led by IBM Global Services to enter into negotiations with Dutch bank ING Groep over a major IT and network outsourcing contract.

According to the Times, the latest contract will cover the back-office functions for Unilever's human resources, learning and procurement operations.
