£5bn NHS commissioning deal place for Capita
The other two private sector places were taken by business services company Mouchel and US healthcare technology company Optum.
As part of the deal Capita will provide a wide range of support services, such as back office finance and HR, GP IT services, contracting, engagement and business intelligence.
It will also provide services for commissioners to support medicines procurement, the implementation of new national guidance and "analysis of data to identify efficiencies in medicine use".
Andy Parker, chief executive of Capita, said: "The breadth and scale of services that will be procured through the new framework will transform service commissioning for the NHS and other healthcare providers."
John O'Brien, analyst at TechMarketView, said Capita’s shares rose two per cent following the announcement. "The scale of the opportunity is huge," he said.
The deal also includes nine NHS "Commissioning Support Units" and their partners.
