The first half of 2017 represents the strongest half-year performance for the outsourcing market in the UK since the first half of 2012, said Patrick Quinn, CEO of Arvato Financial Solutions UK and Ireland. The Arvato Outsourcing Index showed that outsourcing deals totaling GBP5.2bn were struck in the UK during the six months of the year, with private sector IT-related contracts accounting for GBP3.8bn of the total.
