Public Sector AI specialist ICS.AI has appointed Dr Crispin Bloomfield as Education Sector Leader, bolstering the company’s focus on Further and Higher Education following recent Local Government wins (and the appointment of a Chief Local Government Officer in January).
Bloomfield’s nearly three decades in tech most recently included a four-year stint as Senior Education Architect at Microsoft. His track record also includes work at Durham and Manchester universities, plus collaborations with Imperial College London, Oxford, and a UNESCO AI proof of concept project.
The timing is opportune. With universities facing mounting pressures around student engagement and operational efficiency, ICS.AI’s SMART: platform (with its 4,500 pre-trained topics) could translate well from council tax queries to student admissions, for instance – both involve high-volume, repetitive enquiries ripe for automation. ICS.AI also scored recent success with its bilingual Welsh AI assistant, “ARNY”, at Coleg y Cymoedd (see Coleg y Cymoedd sees £5.9m in benefits from bilingual Welsh AI assistant).
ICS.AI is planning to leverage Bloomfield's C-level engagement and sector experience to expand its AI-powered solutions into education institutions, building on its Local Government success in university settings.

Nestlé R&D and IBM Research are working together using AI and deep tech to address the challenges around food packaging.
The collaboration has already led to the development of a GenAI tool to shrink down the time taken to create new packaging material – a process that can sometimes take years.
Scientists at the Swiss multinational food and drink company worked with IBM experts to train the AI tool to become an expert in chemistry by feeding it thousands of documents on different materials and their properties. The model is now able to understand how molecules are structured and is able to propose new packaging materials that can protect sensitive products from moisture, temperature swings, and oxygen. This has the potential to saves years of R&D time.
Nestlé is using AI elsewhere to support its innovation, for example its recipe optimisation tool that uses advanced algorithms to help product developers better manage the trade-offs between ingredients, nutrition, cost, and sustainability.
In May, Nestlé recently announced its new R&D centre for deep tech, which will be opened in Switzerland in the first half of 2026. The centre will screen, test, and develop new generations of sensors, robots, coding systems, high-performing AI, and virtual/mixed reality solutions.

One of the world's largest business-to-business technology distributors, Ingram Micro, has fallen victim to a significant cyber attack that has crippled its operations since Thursday. The outage, which has affected the company's website and online ordering systems, has now been confirmed as the result of a SafePay ransomware attack, according to reporting by BleepingComputer.
The attack began early Thursday morning, with employees discovering ransom notes on their devices. Sources have indicated that the threat actors likely breached Ingram Micro's network through its GlobalProtect VPN platform, highlighting the continued vulnerability of remote access systems to cybercriminal exploitation.
Following the discovery of the breach, the company took immediate defensive measures. Employees in some locations were instructed to work from home, whilst internal systems were shut down as a precautionary measure. The company has specifically advised staff not to use the GlobalProtect VPN access, which has been compromised by the attack.
The impact on Ingram Micro's operations has been substantial. The company's AI-powered Xvantage distribution platform and Impulse licence provisioning platform are amongst the systems affected. However, some services including Microsoft 365, Teams, and SharePoint continue to function normally, allowing limited business continuity.
SafePay represents a relatively new but increasingly active ransomware operation. First observed in November 2024, the group has already accumulated over 220 victims, making it one of the more prolific ransomware gangs operating in 2025. The group has previously been observed targeting corporate networks through VPN gateways using compromised credentials and password spray attacks.
Ingram Micro has since acknowledged the ransomware attack (initally just referring to it as an IT incident) and yesterday reported that it has made progress in restoring some aspects of its transactional business. It is still unclear what the full impact and cost of the breach will be.

DXC Technology’s strategic priorities centre on strengthening and further simplifying its offerings, driving performance, and creating differentiated value for its global customers. The newly appointed President of Consulting & Engineering Services (CES) will, according to DXC’s press release, play “a critical role” in moving towards those goals. CES, which focuses on helping clients across numerous industries solve complex strategic, operational, and technology challenges, has 50,000 engineers globally.
Ramnath Venkataraman, who will report directly to DXC President & CEO Raul Fernandez, joins having served three decades at Accenture, where he held a Global Management Committee position. Most recently, he oversaw the firm’s global technology sales, solutioning, assets, offerings, and network of Advanced Technology Centers. DXC highlights his professional services experience leading enterprise-wide modernisation efforts, with scaled delivery, as well as his “forward-looking approach to AI and next-generation technologies”.
This appointment is part of DXC's stated commitment to attracting top-tier leadership to build and grow its priority businesses. Other recent appointments have included Bill Pieroni as Global Strategy and Growth Leader for the Insurance Software & Business Process Services arm (see Pieroni joins DXC to lead Insurance strategy | TechMarketView), Sandeep Bhanote as the company’s new Financial Services Industry Leader for CES (see Bhanote joins DXC to lead Financial Services CES | TechMarketView), and T.R. Newcomb into the company’s newly created role of Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) (see DXC Technology appoints Newcomb as CRO | TechMarketView).
As we highlighted in our recently published UK SITS Supplier Rankings 2025 (see UK SITS Supplier Rankings 2025 | TechMarketView), Fernandez has stated that DXC is “on the right path to building a business with profitable and sustainable revenue growth,” despite global revenue declining 5.8% in FY25 (4.6% on an organic basis) and the projection of an organic revenue decline between 3.0% and 5.0% for FY26. In the UK, we have witnessed significant operational improvements, but the company continues to face growth challenges. In light of DXC’s challenges, this and other recent appointments hold great significance as the company looks to strengthen its competitive positioning.

According to reports in the press, UK energy firm Octopus Energy is considering hiving off and selling a minority stake in its technology arm, Kraken Technologies, within the next year. It’s expected that existing Octopus Energy investors would be given shares in a newly-independent Kraken business, with around a fifth of shares also being sold to external shareholders to help validate the valuation.
The move would value Kraken at around £10bn – with that portion of the business then worth around two-thirds of the £15bn value of the Octopus group overall.
Although part of Octopus, Kraken licenses its SaaS-based energy generation and supply management platform to other players in the market. EDF’s UK retail business engaged Kraken and Accenture to help strengthen and modernise its digital core in June last year, for example; and E.ON, Tokyo Gas, and Australia’s Origin Energy are also listed amongst the company’s clients – with Kraken’s platform now servicing over 70m customer accounts worldwide.
If it comes to pass, the demerger of Kraken Technologies will create a formidable force in energy tech – a market with much growth potential. According to TechMarketView’s recently published UK Software & IT Services (SITS) Market Trends & Forecasts 2025 report, Energy was the fastest growing sector for UK SITS spend in 2024 (up 6.5% to £3.5bn). It also ranked #3 in the UK (and worldwide) in terms of sustainability activity across the year too – with TechMarketView’s Sustainability Technology Activity Index logging 21.6% of the year’s global sustainability activities, and 16.8% of the UK’s, as pertaining to Energy sector related use cases.

Capgemini has entered into a definitive agreement to buy Business Process Services (BPS) heavyweight, WNS for a total cash consideration of $3.3bn. The
announcement of the transaction, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2025, heralds one of the largest mergers within the IT and Business Process services market for many years. The acquisition is described by the parties as a strategic move aimed at establishing a leader in Intelligent Operations, which will be positioned strongly to address the anticipated growth in enterprise demand for Agentic AI-driven process transformation.
The deal, which will be funded from available cash of c.€1bn supplemented by debt issuance, is expected to be immediately accretive to the purchaser’s top and bottom lines. For the calendar year 2024, Capgemini and WNS generated revenues of €22.1bn and €1.2bn and delivered operating margins of 13.3% and 18.5% respectively.
The impact of the buy on Capgemini’s presence in the BPS market will be far more significant, increasing the company’s annual sales in a segment in which it has been comparatively underweight by more than 170%. The boost to Capgemini UK will be even more dramatic, lifting its non-engineering related annual business process services revenues almost fivefold to over £320m. The merger will also create substantial cross-selling opportunities. WNS has built a large blue chip client base which includes Aviva, Centrica, McCain and United Airlines
Widespread rumours of the potential deal have been circulating for the last three months (see here) and on paper the marriage makes a great deal of sense for both organisations. Our latest Market Trends and Forecasts report (see here), anticipates that the growth in BPS demand will remain subdued for the foreseeable future. Enterprises will increasingly channel their energies and investmnets into fundamentally re-imagining process delivery through the deployment of Agentic AI-assisted solutions capable of tackling complex, industry specific challenges. The bringing together of Capgemini’s formidable IT transformation capabilities and WNS’s substantial horizontal and vertical business process expertise establishes a strong foundation from which to capitalise on this market shift.
Both companies have also been making fast progress in building out their AI propositions. We have identified Capgemini as one of the Leading Pack of service suppliers on The Road to AI and WNS has been quick to turn its attention to the potential of AI/Gen AI, with both a range of use cases rolled out to date and through the development of a number of domain focused solutions (see here). Whether the new whole can be made to be more than the sum of its parts remains to be seen. The success of the merger will not, however, be limited by a lack of interest in what it is aspiring to offer.

Value-added reseller (VAR) boxxe has acquired IT infrastructure solutions company CAE Technology. Terms of the deal have not been disclosed.
Hemel Hempstead-headquartered CAE was founded in 1992. It achieved revenue of £156m in its last published results (year ended 30 June 2024), 94% of which was derived from the UK. This was an 11% decline compared to the previous year, which was attributed to a slowdown in the approval and cancellation of network projects, particularly in the public sector. It is a Cisco Tier One Gold Partner, a Microsoft Tier One Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) and a Dell Technologies Platinum Partner.
In its last published accounts (year ended 31 December 2023), boxxe’s revenue stood at £442m. However, this does not include any contribution from Total Computers (acquired in January 2024), which achieved revenue of £86m in that year.
The deal will strengthen boxxe’s networking and security offering in both the private sector and public sector, particularly within healthcare and education. It should also allow CAE to tap into boxxe’s public sector expertise, helping the company expand its footprint across this market.

Debenhams Group, the parent company of fashion retailers PrettyLittleThing, Karen Millen and Boohoo, has signed a multi-year AI agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to streamline operations and change how customers discover and purchase products across its brands.
The Debenhams brand, which vanished from UK high streets in 2021, was bought out of administration by Boohoo group in 2022 and now operates solely online. Boohoo decided to rebrand as Debenhams Group in March this year as the online fashion firm hailed the turnaround of the department store brand. AWS has been a core IT partner for the business for some time, with the new AI implementation building upon Debenhams' existing cloud-first architecture which sits on AWS and already powers its marketplace model.
“Collaborating with AWS is a key part of our long-term strategy to transform Debenhams Group into a modern, technology-led retailer, said Dan Finley, chief executive of Debenhams Group. "We’ve successfully replaced outdated legacy systems with scalable, cloud-first architecture that’s adaptable, resilient and built to support innovation well into the group’s future.”
The partnership leverages AWS's generative AI capabilities, (via Amazon Bedrock) to deliver personalised shopping experiences at scale. Following successful trials on the Debenhams platform, the technology is now being rolled out across the group's portfolio, including recent implementation at Boohoo. AWS's AI service can automate product descriptions and translations at a quoted twenty times the previous speed, processing thousands of items simultaneously. Debenhams is also launching an Interactive AI Room Styler that allows customers to upload photos of their spaces, select design preferences, and receive personalised decor recommendations linked directly to purchasable products.
Debenhams is a great example of an organisation that has not only had to reinvent itself as high street trends changed, but also invested in strengthening their technology foundations to enable them to quickly build and deploy innovative new AI-powered products and services at scale. Whilst Debenhams deal with AWS is focused on using AI to enhance the customer experience, we have also seen it applied to streamline back-office operations as well. For example JD Sports announced in May it was partnering with supply chain software supplier o9 to implement AI in an effort to transform its assortment planning operation (See - JD Sports and British Airways look to AI for efficiency gains)

Twelve years after winning the £75m DCC data services contract, CGI has launched CGI WiseWatt, a cloud-based platform that monetises the UK's smart meter infrastructure in a new way. The platform gives organisations access to consumption data from the 39 million smart meters now installed across Britain – still short of the 53 million target we reported back in 2013, but a substantial base, nonetheless. A 2023 parliamentary report found that only 57% of meters were smart as of March 2023, with approximately 9% not functioning properly and another 20% at risk of losing functionality when 2G and 3G networks are switched off.
WiseWatt provides managed services to help organisations access half-hourly electricity and gas consumption data, as well as tariff information. It targets businesses that want smart meter insights but lack the technical expertise or regulatory accreditation to access DCC systems directly.
For CGI, this is a commercial pivot from an infrastructure to a data services provider. CGI is now offering managed access to smart meter data for businesses that need it. Their decade-plus experience running DCC's central systems positions it uniquely to offer these managed services.
The timing works well with the government's Clean Power 2030 initiative to decarbonise electricity generation, which creates fresh demand for energy data insights. WiseWatt's consent management portal and open APIs are designed to make integration straightforward for businesses wanting to build consumption analytics into their offerings.
What's interesting is how this validates the data value proposition that was always implicit in the smart meter programme. Back in 2013, we questioned whether the £2.4bn investment would deliver promised savings. The jury's still out on consumer benefits, but CGI's platform demonstrates the commercial value of aggregated consumption data. WiseWatt’s success will now depend on pricing, ease of integration, and market demand for third-party energy data services.

The 10-Year Health Plan for England reinforces the strategic shift towards technology-enabled healthcare delivery that has been at the heart of the government’s plans for the NHS since they came to power last July. While positioned as revolutionary reform, much of the detailed digital focus is on scaling established programmes. It presents a vision for the future but is short on detail about how that vision will be delivered.
The NHS required fundamental change if it is to survive—Prime Minister Keir Starmer reiterated his warning that it’s a case of “reform or die” when launching the Plan yesterday. He said, “The status quo of ‘hospital by default’ will end, with a new preventative principle that care should happen as locally as it can: digital-by-default, in a patient’s home where possible, in a neighbourhood health centre when needed, in a hospital if necessary.”
The scaled-up digital ambitions, together with the more radical structural changes detailed in the Plan (e.g., neighbourhood health service), will still create substantial market opportunities for software and IT services suppliers.
In this report we look at the key announcements in the 10-Year Health Plan for England. This includes the need for reform, technology priorities, the five big bets for the NHS, procurement reform, noticeable gaps in the plan, and opportunities for suppliers.

It’s been widely reported in the media, albeit seemingly based on sources “familiar with the work” speaking to Bloomberg on condition of anonymity, that Oracle’s mystery $30bn cloud services win is indeed the company’s first Stargate contract with OpenAI – and not Temu (as was the other commonly-thought possibility).
As we reported earlier this week (see Oracle shares jump on news of $30bn cloud contract), the scale of this annual deal represents a massive revenue ramp-up for Oracle’s Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) division – already in hypergrowth for many successive quarters, and bringing in around $10bn during FY25. However, the numbers won’t start to show on the company’s balance sheet until FY28.
Oracle made the Top 10 in our recent Software & IT Services (SITS) Supplier Rankings report, though – as we noted at the time – whilst OCI surged in terms of growth last year (and is primed to accelerate further, given continued domestic investment in AI infrastructure), current UK revenue for the division is still relatively modest.

The Access Group has acquired cloud-based compliance platform MY Compliance Management, adding safety, health and environmental compliance capabilities to its Access Learning division to create a more comprehensive workforce development offering (addressing the full compliance lifecycle from risk assessment through training delivery to verification). Terms were not disclosed in the announcement.
Founded in 2015, MY Compliance Management’s SaaS platform includes 20+ integrated modules and mobile apps, with a focus on user-friendly interfaces and practical functionality. Its emphasis on offline capability is particularly useful too, ensuring compliance tracking remains viable in industrial environments with patchy connectivity.
The deal strengthens Access's position in the mid-market (and comes after last month’s acquisition of Eploy in the HR space (see Access expands HR offering with Eploy acquisition). However, whether it delivers the "powerful synergies", which Elliot Gowans (General Manager of Access Learning) promised, will depend on how effectively Access can integrate the incoming technology, and retain MY Compliance Management's customer base, through the transition.

Bytes Technology Group issued a trading update ahead of its AGM yesterday. The Board stated that – due to deferral of customer buying decisions (particularly in the corporate sector), and a “longer than expected” readjustment period following the company’s overhaul of its corporate sales division – operating profit for the first half of FY26 was expected to be “marginally lower” than the same period last year (with gross profit around the same level).
Bytes predicts a return to “more normalised growth” in the second half of the fiscal year (September onwards). However, coming after the company stated in May that it was looking to deliver another year of double-digit gross profit growth (and high single-digit operating profit growth) across the year – see Mudd praises staff as Bytes closes strong FY – the market reacted unfavourably to yesterday's news, with shares closing over 30% down by the end of the day.
It wasn’t just Bytes’s shares that suffered yesterday, either. Rival UK-listed VARs Softcat and Computacenter were also hit (each finishing the day around 6% down on Monday’s prices) – suggesting that the company isn’t alone in having to face off the “more challenging macro environment” that Bytes’ CEO Sam Mudd alluded to in yesterday’s update.
This year’s changes to Microsoft’s Enterprise Agreements (EA) licensing model and restructuring of partner incentives are having an impact right across the channel. There’s less of a partner earnings skew to upfront deal sizes now, and Microsoft is reclaiming direct control of EA renewals. Byte’s sales restructuring is designed to better align with the new order of things, but it’s taking time to sort out (plus some customers are pausing large renewals to reassess deal structures). The market is waiting to see how VARs generally adapt to these shifts – though a fuller picture won’t become clear until the second half of the year.

Omni Partners has completed its acquisition of Sava Technology Limited, a specialist provider of energy analytics software to UK housing providers. The deal marks the fifth strategic acquisition for Infoshare+, Omni’s public sector-focused software and data solutions platform, and furthers Omni’s buy-and-build strategy, following the acquisition of Datatank last month (See - Omni expands public sector offering with Datatank deal)
Sava Technology brings three decades of experience serving more than 220 social housing providers across the UK. The company's flagship product, the Sava Intelligent Energy platform, offers software-as-a-service solutions that enable housing associations and local authorities to model and enhance the energy performance of their property portfolios.
The platform processes data from over 2.5m homes, importing and cleansing property portfolio information whilst analysing energy and carbon metrics. It generates bespoke, costed improvement plans tailored to clients' energy objectives, with customisable targets linked to EPC bands, SAP ratings, and carbon reduction percentages. The solution integrates with major UK housing asset management systems.
The acquisition comes as housing providers face increasing pressure to decarbonise their assets and tackle fuel poverty ahead of the government's 2050 net zero commitment. Without comprehensive knowledge of their housing stock, providers struggle to devise cost-effective improvement strategies for reducing carbon emissions and running costs.
Infrastructure, Housing and Asset Management is a key growth vertical for Infoshare+, with the acquisition of Sava aimed at strengthening its capabilities in the housing sector and positioning the firm to deliver enhanced data-driven solutions to the public sector.
Steve Thorn, Executive Chairman at Infoshare+, said: "Sava Technology is a perfect fit for Infoshare+. The team brings deep expertise, a strong client base, and a scalable SaaS solution that addresses one of the most urgent issues facing social housing providers today. All the solutions within our platform are built to help organisations improve decision-making and offer better services to deliver the best outcomes for communities across the UK."
Austin Baggett, Managing Director of Sava, emphasised the strategic alignment: "The acquisition by Infoshare+ is a natural next step for Sava Technology and our Sava Intelligent Energy software platform. We understand that improving energy efficiency and sustainability isn't a standalone endeavour. It fits into a much wider, smarter ecosystem of solutions and information, which is precisely what Infoshare+ is building."

Last week I was absolutely delighted to attend the King’s Trust Awards.
TechMarketView has a long association with the Trust, going back to the days when Richard Holway co-founded the Technology Leadership Group. Today we do our bit through my role as Chair of the Business 
Develop Committee and the activities staff undertake to raise money through sponsorship.
The King’s Trust believes that every young person should have the chance to succeed, no matter what their background or the challenges they are facing. It focuses on young people aged 11-30, helping them to develop essential life skills and supporting them into training and employment.
The awards is an opportunity for the King’s Trust to recognise and celebrate the achievements of some of those young people it has supported. It is a very buzzy event, with everyone in high spirits. G&T in hand, I had a fabulous afternoon at the event, hosted by the inimitable Ant and Dec.
Well done to all those that won, at the regional, national, and international levels!
