    Question

    French Procurement Central UGAP Awards Four-Year Public Cloud Contract to Atos and Thales

    Direct answer

    UGAP, France's central public purchasing body, has officially awarded a four-year procurement contract to a consortium composed of Atos, Open, and Thales. The mandate covers both cloud provision (PEC) and enterprise IT infrastructure management (EIR) across French administrative bodies, regional authorities, and state-backed institutions. The selection provides multi-year revenue visibility for Thales' defense and enterprise digital security segments, while offering baseline infrastructure volume for Atos during its operational restructuring. The award underscores France's ongoing strategy to route sensitive public data through domestic technology consortia.
