Francis Irving made this Freedom of Information request to HM Revenue and Customs
This request has been closed to new correspondence. Contact us if you think it should be reopened.
Dear HM Revenue & Customs,
In 2004, HMRC signed a deal called "Aspire" with Capgemini to supply IT services. It is described on the Capgemini website here: http://www.uk.capgemini.com/aspire/
Please send, or better upload to your website, copies of:
* The original Aspire contract or contracts with Capgemini.
* Supporting documents which effectively form a part of the contract.
* Any later agreements that altered the contract.
The information I am seeking here is exact details of the services Capgemini contracted to supply, for what price, and under what terms.
If you cannot provide all the information, please give reasons under the FOI Act, but also give me any related or summary information you can.
Yours faithfully,
Francis Irving

This was rejected for being too broad, so too expensive to do in the limits. However, some existing public documents were attached:
* A copy of the Public Accounts Committee Twenty-eighth Report of Session 2006-07 “HM Revenue and Customs ASPIRE – the re-competition of outsourced IT services”.
* A copy of the National Audit Office’s Report dated July 2006 “HM Revenue and Customs ASPIRE – the re-competition of outsourced IT services”.
Thanks Eileen. What I really wanted was actual contractual documents, but thank you for attaching the overview and the two reports. They'll be very useful in me forming a more precise request.
Yours sincerely,
Francis Irving
