Capita has secured a two-year extension to its contract to deliver Personal Independence Payment (PIP) assessments for the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).

Chorley Council’s Revenues and Benefits team managed the 100% increase in Universal Credit (UC) by optimising the automation processes introduced with Capita.

Capita today announces it has secured an extension to its contracts with Transport for London (TfL) to continue to manage London’s Congestion Charge, Low Emission Zone (LEZ) and Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ).

The technology for a connected country is here. In fact, we’re already putting it to work across Scotland – in healthcare, education, local authorities and beyond. Watch the video to see how Capita is accelerating Scotland’s digital and climate ambitions to make a real difference to people’s lives.

Since 2011, Capita has partnered with The Pensions Regulator to deliver automatic enrolment, employing 150 staff and operating a multi-channel customer contact centre to deliver direct communications to every employer in the UK. As a result, saving for a pension has become the norm, with 22.9 million people now saving into a workplace pension.

At a recent roundtable in partnership with Wired, Doug Brown, Head of Data, Cyber and AI Guild and Chief Data Scientist of Capita Consulting, was joined by Lisa Talia Moretti, a digital sociologist at the Ministry of Justice; Reid Darby, innovation lead at Golden Valley Development in Cheltenham; Carly Kind, Director at the Ada Lovelace Institute and Tavi Kotka, an engineer/entrepreneur and former Chief Information Officer for the Estonian government to discuss data, identity and the digital citizen.
