Blackpool move planning will commence in the near future, Fujitsu will be involving the consultation forum in the detail.
Fujitsu are currently in the advanced stages of finalising arrangements for premises in Sheffield. Feedback from the 1 to 1’s has been considered as an integral part of this process in terms of requirements for this location. As soon as commercials are complete the exact location will be communicated.
Norcross – knowledge transfer process has now been agreed with both HPES and the DWP. This process will confirm our technical requirements going forward which will inform the decision on whether testing remains at Norcross at Day 1 or moves to Blackpool.

Re-planningRe-planning
The transition of DWP’s Desktop Services from Hewlett Packard Enterprise Services (HPES) to Fujitsu will complete later than the originally planned date of September 2010. We have made good progress to date and expect to complete Transition either late 2010 or early 2011.
The Department’s priority is to deliver the benefits of Fujitsu’s transformed Desktop Services solution (i.e. a predominantly “Thin Client” solution) with no disruption to service to its customers and staff. This requires some flexibility in the handover of the Desktop Service between the two suppliers (HPES and Fujitsu). The additional time is required to ensure the smooth and seamless transition from HPES to Fujitsu. All the organisations involved continue to work closely together to achieve this.

It has proven difficult to get 100% clarity on the composition of the flex fund and the mechanism for its review
The three items that Fujitsu generally provide ‘free’ should be removed from the current flex fund Full contractual holiday entitlement Life Assurance PHI (Long Term Disability)
For private medical we give you an option continue current allowance or take entitlement at contractual level of cover and lose allowance
The remainder of the flex fund continues Paid as a fixed cash allowance Remaining funding includes, where relevant, Dental, LTA/PHI change
allowance
Flex Fund Move to Fujitsu - OverviewFlex Fund Move to Fujitsu - Overview
13COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE
You will be given your contractual entitlement, which, from 2010, is a fixed number of days, and the funding in your Flex fund removed
Example: Currently an employees has entitlement to 25 days holiday (plus public holidays) plus Flex funding for three additional days. Going forward: The employee will be given full 28 days contractual entitlement The Flex fund will be reduced by the ‘cost’ of three days i.e. 3 x 1/260
x salary
If you are eligible for Your Choices you will be able to buy or sell up to 5 days each year. Currently you elect to buy/sell before the start of the calendar year With Fujitsu you make that decision in July of that holiday year, when
you should have a better idea of what you want to select. You then pay/receive cash for 12 month from August. So in July 2011 you will decide what holiday you wish to buy/sell for

You will be given life assurance at the level of 4 times your Reference Salary
The Flex fund will be reduced by the current My Choices cost to purchase this level of life assurance
There will be no opportunity to flex down the life assurance and take additional cash
In future years cover will continue to be paid by Fujitsu – so no dependence on a review of the allowance
Everyone eligible for Your Choices will be able to select additional life assurance

15COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE
Permanent Health Insurance (PHI) and Long Term Absence (LTA) are the same thing, just different names

Company sick pay will be used to cover the period from 26 to 52 weeks where you would previously have had LTA
The Flex Fund will be reduced by the current My Choices cost to purchase contractual LTA
There will be no opportunity to flex down the cover and take additional cash
In future years cover will continue to be paid by Fujitsu – so no dependence on a review of the allowance
PHI in DetailPHI in Detail
16COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE
Fujitsu’s arrangement has one level of cover which is similar to Scheme 3 (the top scheme) and has no excess
You will have a one time choice, two options: 1. Keep the allowance in Flex Fund:
Continue to have the right to select cover through Your Choices Purchase costs are age related
2. Have your Flex Fund reduced by the current My Choices cost of your contractual entitlement and Fujitsu will give you that level of membership as a Company paid benefit: Able to modify cover through Your Choices If you flex down no cash will be given, but reduced tax cost In future years cover will continue to be paid by Fujitsu – so no
dependence on a review of the allowance
