Capita plc (‘Capita’) today announces it has secured an extension to its contract to deliver Personal Independent Payment (PIP) assessments for the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).

Capita Entrust has secured a contract with the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to deliver a comprehensive training programme for British Army recruits.

Capita has gone live with its expanded training contract with the Royal Navy to deliver marine engineering training, announced in February this year.

New analysis conducted by the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) with Capita – “Goodbye Mr Chips?” looks at modernising defence training for the 21st century.

Capita’s Fire Service College (FSC) was proud to host Guy Martin at its 300-acre site in Moreton-in-Marsh to film an episode for his four-part Proper Jobs series.

The training of Defence firefighters has been judged as ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted, in the first inspection of the Defence Fire Training Unit (DFTU) following its move from RAF Manston to the Capita-owned Fire Service College (FSC) in Moreton-in-Marsh.

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.

Capita has upgraded its market leading One Revenues and Benefits software so that it now fully supports local authority residential and domiciliary care contribution assessments (known as Financial Assessments).

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.

Capita has been selected to partner with Harrow Council to deliver flexible revenues and benefits processing services at times of peak demand, in a five-year contract with the potential to extend for one year, worth £4.1 million over the full life of the contract.
