Capita secures three-year extension to
PCSE contract
Capita plc ('Capita') today announces it has secured a three-year extension
with NHS England and NHS Improvement (NHSEI) to continue to fulfil the Primary
Care Support England (PSCE) contract.
The contract extension, which is worth £94m over three years and runs until 31
August 2025, will see Capita continue to deliver digital, logistical and
support services for all of England's primary care practitioners working in the
NHS; this includes GPs, dentists, opticians and pharmacists.
The extension builds on the existing PCSE contract which Capita secured in
2015. Over the past seven years, Capita has invested significantly to ensure
the delivery of complex digital transformation projects for NHSEI. Capita is
now delivering these services more efficiently and at a lower cost to the
client.
The service improvements made by Capita have included standardising primary
care processes nationally, and launching the PCSE Online platform, which has
digitised many services critical to primary care practitioners' roles which
were previously paper or desk-based. For example, through PCSE Online,
practitioners can now efficiently order medical supplies, track medical
records, access pension records and process payments.
Since the start of the original contract, Capita has developed strong
relationships with NHSEI and other stakeholders to enhance the PCSE service.
The new contract extension also follows on from the role the business played in
enabling England's primary care sector to adapt to and manage the impact of the
Covid-19 pandemic.
Over the next three years, Capita will continue to work closely with NHSEI and
other stakeholders to find opportunities to further improve the service and
maintain high standards of quality and delivery.
Al Murray, Capita's CEO for Capita Public Service, said: "The extension of our
contract with NHS England and NHS Improvement reflects our focus and commitment
to continuing to improve and deliver for the organisation, as for all our
clients and customers.
"We are proud to have introduced a number of significant digital capabilities
which have helped make the services we deliver for England's primary care
practitioners more efficient.
"This renewal reflects our ability to retain and continue to work with
important clients and partners by successfully delivering for them."
Notes to editors:
The total IFRS 15 transaction price (order book) is £94m. As this extension is
a pre-priced within the existing contract, the transaction value is already
included in the orderbook.
