The U.K. government Thursday said it was terminating a contract
to supply border control technology with U.S. firm Raytheon Co.
(RTN) because critical parts of the program are running at least 12
months late.
The U.K.'s Home Office said in a statement that the Home
Secretary "has no confidence in the prime supplier of the e-borders
contract, Raytheon, which since July 2009 has been in breach of
contract."
"The government is determined to get value for money from its
major contracts and requires the highest standard of performance
from its suppliers. We will now be seeking alternative providers to
continue to deliver this project as a matter of urgency," it
added.
Raytheon was leading a consortium of companies working on the
project, which was to provide technology allowing U.K. border
control officials to carry out checks on travelers before they
begin their journey against police, security and immigration watch
lists.
Others in the consortium were Serco Group PLC (SRP.LN),
Accenture PLC (ACN), Detica Group PLC, QinetiQ Group PLC (QQ.LN),
Capgemini (CAP.FR) and Steria.
