Key Findings & Highlights:
Capita is a major BPO provider in the U.K., with long-term experience in large scale, long-term back- and middle-office contracts in sectors including local government, central government, insurance and financial services. It has also built a large customer management services BPO business, serving sectors including telecoms and retail.
Capita has developed sourcing and procurement (S&P) services capabilities from:
- The transfer of personnel within very large multi-tower local government BPO contracts which included procurement services. An example is Southampton City Council. However, these personnel typically continued to provide procurement services to that council only
- Leveraging its internal procurement division to support external clients
- The acquisition in 2011 of Red Procurement for £1m plus £1m earnout, adding 19 FTEs, to develop its procurement consultancy expertise
- Hiring externally, targeting procurement professionals with over ten years' experience.
It does not conduct any internal training.
Capita does not offer multi-category S&P services on a standalone basis, but as part of a broader outsource, or in a "work-alongside” sourcing support model to existing clients of other services.
