Capita have been selected to operate a nine-year IT contract, providing managed services to Croydon Council.

The contract is expected to deliver significant savings of around 50 per cent on current costs, with Capita delivering IT support, support, infrastructure, new desktop solutions and mobile services.

The service management contract is designed to safeguard frontline services from increased efficiency.

The council contract comes after Capita secured a ten-year £320 million BPO contract with Barnet Council.

John Gladman, Head of ICT at Croydon Council, said: ““This contract gives us cost savings and an improved IT service at a time when resources are extremely limited, when frontline services need as much protection as possible and when staff need all the support that we can give them”.
