The MoU confirms that all current contracts remain in place. As part of the discussions, C&W Worldwide has identified ways in which its current contract base could provide savings for the Government. Additionally, going forward it opens up the opportunity for increased engagement and collaboration between C&W Worldwide and the various government departments that are looking to drive down costs and improve efficiencies.

The MoU represents an important milestone as we meet the Government’s immediate efficiency agenda and commit to support its reform initiatives. We are extremely well placed to continue to deliver value for money for the Government and the tax payer.”
