Cities across the UK are looking to attract private investment. With devolution high on the agenda, the prominence of the country’s cities is rising.

Capita Local Public Services has entered into an exciting partnership with Sheffield City Council, working with them to transform and enhance services that will benefit residents and businesses.

Capita has been re-selected by Westminster City Council to manage the authority’s revenues and benefits services for a further seven years, commencing November 2018, with the option to extend for three years, in a deal worth approximately £65 million over ten years.

Eight in ten (83 per cent) Scottish citizens believe their local councils should embrace a wider range of digital technologies, according to new research commissioned by Capita on behalf of the Scottish Wide Area Network (SWAN).

Capita has secured a £5.9m four-year contract with Bolton at Home, to deliver IT services to support the Greater Manchester housing association in providing best-in-class service to its customers.

A digital transformation programme of revenues services and enhanced use of enforcement measures by two district councils, supported by Capita Local Government, has helped result in millions of pounds in council tax being recouped.

Capita has added an automation function to its benefits software, helping councils reduce claim processing times to less than two minutes - 20 times quicker than processing the same form manually.
