DXC Technology announced it has been selected as the master vendor to deliver business‑process‑outsourcing services and replace the enterprise‑resource‑planning and resource‑management systems for the Metropolitan Police Service (Met), the United Kingdom’s largest police force. The agreement covers a 7‑year core period with an additional 1‑year extension and a further 1‑year extension option, giving DXC a long‑term, recurring revenue opportunity.
The contract will modernize how the Met deploys its resources and transform key support functions, including human resources, commercial, and finance services. DXC will implement Oracle Fusion SaaS and AI capabilities to streamline operations and improve decision‑making across the organization.
This win aligns with DXC’s AI‑first strategy and its recognition as a leader in AI services for government by IDC MarketScape. The deal demonstrates the company’s ability to embed AI in every role and process, a priority highlighted by the appointment of Brad Novak as CIO.
The contract is a significant milestone for DXC’s public‑sector presence, providing a high‑profile platform to showcase its AI capabilities and reinforcing its competitive position against peers such as IBM, Accenture, and Oracle.
In the same week, DXC reported Q2 2026 earnings: earnings per share of $0.84 versus analyst expectations of $0.70, a beat of $0.14 or 20%. Revenue of $3.16 billion fell 2.5% year‑over‑year, missing the consensus estimate of $3.17 billion. The EPS beat was driven by disciplined cost management and margin expansion in the Global Infrastructure Services segment, which posted an 11.6% profit margin, while the Global Business Services segment reported a 7.7% margin. The revenue miss reflected macro‑economic weakness and competitive pricing pressure in the public‑sector market.
Marie Heracleous, Chief Officer Business Services at the Met, said the contract will help deliver the New Met for London strategy by better planning and managing resources, modernising technology, reducing costs, and enabling officers to focus on frontline policing. Derek Allison, UKI Managing Director at DXC, highlighted the partnership’s focus on Oracle Fusion SaaS and AI capabilities, noting that the integration of strategic workforce management for operational policing will create lasting, positive impact.
The long‑term nature of the contract provides DXC with a stable revenue stream and a platform to demonstrate its AI‑enabled solutions to other government clients, potentially driving future contracts and strengthening its market position.
DXC’s FY 2026 guidance remains $2.85‑$3.35 EPS, reflecting confidence in maintaining profitability amid revenue decline. The new contract adds a predictable, recurring revenue source that supports the company’s outlook and reinforces its strategy to grow through high‑value public‑sector engagements.
