The new contract is set to begin on 1 August

The States of Guernsey has appointed a new provider of day-to-day IT .

The government said C5 Alliance would begin its initial two-year contract on 1 August and there would be an option to extend it for a further two years.

The termination of the States' contract with IT provider Agilisys is set to take effect by midnight on 31 July.

The States said the budget for the provision of the IT helpdesk for staff was about £750,000 per year.

This is the first agreement in the government's new multi-vendor model for IT services which the States said would improve ability and the reliability of services for islanders.

Gé Drossaert, States chief digital and information officer, said he was pleased they had been able to appoint an on-island firm and was confident C5 Alliance would deliver a "first-class service".
