The Ministry of Public Administration (MPA) of Spain has awarded BT Spain a contract extension worth up to E44.5m over its lifetime, to provide networked IT and telephony services.

MPA – which co-ordinates and offers administrative support to the Spanish government at a central, regional and local level across 400 offices – awarded BT Global Services the contract after a competitive tender.

The four-year contract, which will see BT provide fixed line, internet and data services to the Spanish government is expected to be worth E28.3m, with a provision to extend that by another two years for the value of E16.19m.

BT will provide around-the-clock monitoring and maintenance for all the data and fixed line telephony voice traffic that will travel between the MPA’s 300 offices over its 11,000 kilometre Spanish Internet Protocol network.

The contract builds on two previous contracts BT had with MPA over the last six years.
