LONDON — Britain's National Health Service awarded Computer Sciences Corp. a nine-year contract worth up to $3.73 billion to provide IT services, a project the company will take over from Accenture after delays and cost overruns in upgrading the NHS computer system.
........ Accenture entered into a 10-year agreement with the NHS in 2003. But the deal has been an onus for the company, as delays have caused costs to outpace revenue from the contract.
