The contract is due to be signed by - and to start on - 1 June this year with the transition and transformation of services planned to be phased over two years. There is also an option to extend the deal another three years.
Xerox said the contract will result in "substantial overall savings" for the department. It will provide a single service management infrastructure for all the DWP's core print needs and improve the quality and effectiveness of its document-related communication with the general public.
Xerox is the prime contractor of the iON group, which includes Accenture, CEVA Logistics, EDS, Remploy, The Stationery Office and TNT.
