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 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.

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 supports AEGIS London with the provision of IT services in response to Covid-19, allowing the business to continue trading successfully.

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.
