We’re proud to have been asked by the Government to explore more than 100 situations to support the Covid-19 response. This has already included work for the NHS and other healthcare support; helping the NHS onboarding process for thousands of returning doctors and nurses; enabling government to communicate with, and support, vulnerable people during the crisis; providing digital technology to a London health trust; contributing resource to healthcare call centres; and being part of an initiative to set up health testing centres. We’re pleased to have been able to help the government mobilise and share resources to support communities in the UK and to be able to support our private sector clients to respond to higher demand from their customers. Here’s a collection of examples where we’ve recently been asked to provide innovative solutions to strengthen the connections between business and customers, governments and citizens...

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to turn the world upside down, we remain focused on supporting organisations to deliver essential services whilst taking every step possible to protect our own employees.

Protecting communities with the Ministry of Justice

We’ve been supporting the Ministry of Justice to reduce crime since 2014 with our Electronic Monitoring service, a non-custodial solution which assures public safety and aids the rehabilitation of prisoners. The monitoring unit is tracked from our 24/7 customer service centre, with links to local police, the probation service and a wide network of agencies to ensure people get appropriate support, including with alcohol and substance issues, to reduce the likelihood of re-offending. We’re delighted to announce a 3-year contract extension to this critically important service which will see our technology and contact centre helping the justice system to protect communities until 2024.

Helping banking customers manage their finances

We’ll be helping a high street bank answer essential queries from customers faster and more efficiently by supporting their front-line customer service operations with the latest technology and our people solutions. Our flexible staffing service will double the bank’s existing team, providing expert, experienced agents who’ll ensure the highest professional standards of engagement on each call. The three-year agreement is to ensure a seamless experience for customers, enabling them to manage their finances in the easiest way possible. In addition to supporting the bank to provide great customer care, it will also help to significantly reduce overtime spend.

Supporting patients with safe and consistent urgent healthcare advice

Our trusted healthcare software will be helping a UK region to deliver urgent healthcare services through safe, consistent assessments of a patient’s symptoms over the telephone. The latest clinical content technology, combined with an intuitive user interface, will help call handlers prioritise each patient according to their symptoms and medical history. As information is taken from callers, the software maps out the most effective care pathway, combining innovative clinical content technology with telephony to signpost users to the most appropriate care. The seven-year contract reflects our experience in healthcare: since 2001 our decision support software has been used across the world to power over 100 million patient transactions.

Helping transform mobile communications for UK emergency services

We’ve been asked by the Home Office to migrate the UK emergency services to the Emergency Services Network (ESN), a new 4G-based critical communications system. ESN is a cross-government programme to transform emergency services’ mobile working, especially in remote locations and during network congestion. The new network will help to further protect lives by enabling live searches and database updates, whilst enhancing secure voice channels for police, fire and rescue, ambulance services and other first responders. Capita’s solution will draw on over 30 years’ experience of delivering advanced systems to the emergency services and will work with the current Airwave system and the ESN to enable emergency services to use both during the transition.

Enabling customers to make informed retirement decisions

We’ll be supporting the customers of a large UK insurance provider with additional employee resource, building on the existing ten-year partnership with a new five-year agreement. Our team will enhance the experience of retired customers, by providing information across a range of complex specialist insurance products and adhering to all regulatory requirements. This will ensure customers can make informed and timely retirement decisions. With the delivery of excellent customer service, modernisation to improve satisfaction and strong net promoter scores (NPS) across the client’s suppliers, we’ve evidenced our value to the partnership. The new agreement is a reflection of that and we’re looking forward to continuing to help deliver the best possible outcomes for customers.

Future-proofing housing services to better support customers

We’ll be better connecting Bolton at Home with their customers and sites with a four-year contract to deliver IT services, enabling a more mobile and collaborative workforce. We’ll be migrating the housing association’s current system – and over 1,100 users - to the cloud, enabling them to take advantage of emerging technologies such as the internet of things (IoT), data analytics and machine learning to create better outcomes for their communities. To boost efficiency, the new system will include a personalised tool for employees to resolve enquiries and provide data-rich reports to support customer self-service. We’re also providing a cloud-based telephony platform and a managed print service, with eco-optimised printers and toners helping to reduce their environmental footprint.

Enhancing career opportunities for civil servants

We’re creating thousands of opportunities for civil servants to build their careers within the government through the apprenticeship framework, equipping them with the skills they need to excel and offering a structured pathway to help them achieve their career goals. Our technology helps track the progress of learners to ensure they’re always getting the support they need, when they need it. We’ve been delivering more than 6,000 apprenticeships a year for the civil service since 2017 – an impressive 26% of all government apprenticeships. The introduction of the new Digital Purchasing System means that more government departments and civil servants will now have access to our apprenticeship programmes.

Providing passengers with access to 4G services on the London Underground

We played an instrumental role in the design and build of the first publicly available 2G, 3G and 4G mobile service on the London Underground in partnership with Transport for London (TfL) and suppliers. This included the management of the project - a significant engineering challenge in managing up to 300 operatives a day to install the necessary infrastructure whilst minimising any disruption to the London Underground’s five million daily passengers. We also remain responsible for the ongoing management and operation of the network, which covers significant sections of the Jubilee Line, including most ticket halls and corridors.

Supporting digital transformation in local government

We’re looking forward to supporting the local authority-wide digital transformation of a large city council as part of a five-year contract delivering a suite of software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions covering finance, payments, revenues and benefits, and education. Drawing upon our digital and technology expertise, we look forward to supporting more efficient operations alongside the delivery of better outcomes for the communities they serve.

Introducing artificial intelligence to improve customer experience

We’ll be helping to improve customer experience for a major UK telecommunications provider by applying our expertise in artificial intelligence and customer management to support their digital transformation as part of a five-year contract.

Providing faster responses to telecoms customers

We’ve been delivering fast-response customer service support to another major UK telecommunications provider for two years and are delighted to agree a 12-month service extension to build on the successful delivery of this service. This forms part of a strong, seven-year partnership with the provider.

Improving connectivity for local communities

We’re looking forward to improving internet connectivity for communities across Norfolk with a contract to build a local full-fibre network for Norfolk County Council. We’ve also agreed a four-year contract extension for IT services with the local authority.

Delivering expert advice to water utility customers

We make it possible for a water services company to deliver excellent customer service by providing customer services resources and expertise. We’re delighted to be building on the existing two-year partnership with an agreed three-year contract extension to continue to deliver their customer services.

Enabling better communications for the Border Force when at sea

We’ll be enabling the five cutters in the Home Office Border Force Maritime Fleet to communicate with the Home Office even when out to sea by providing 4G and satellite communications over the next three years.

Supporting agile leadership in the Royal Navy

We’re delighted to be extending our partnership with the Department for Education (DfE) to deliver the end-to-end administration for their Teachers’ Pension Scheme (TPS) for all members in England and Wales. The TPS is one of the largest public sector pension schemes in the UK. The four-year partnership extension builds on our 20-year collaboration with the DfE and starts from autumn 2021
