Capita entered the U.K. L&P space with a contract win from Lincoln Financial Services in 2002. It has since gone on to win a number of significant deals, including a £300m, 10-year contract with Zurich in 2006 and a £722m, 15-year contract with Prudential in 2008. Capita administers 24.8m L&P polices, the majority of which are closed. L&P offerings include core administration value added and expert functions, operational planning and control, oversight and governance and operational IT and transformation. Services are delivered using a combination of the client's platform and Capita's platform solutions.
Capita is seeking opportunities with medium/large L&P businesses for which it can provide specialist services. Capita is also looking to support life companies who are trying to break into new markets. Europe is of particular interest to Capita, especially in light of the recent opening of a nearshore delivery center in Poland.
Capita is also looking to standardize platform technology.
