                      Referral to Competition Commission                       

Capita confirms that the OFT has referred Capita's acquisition of IBS
OPENSystems to the Competition Commission due to concerns regarding part of
IBS's business, the supply of revenue and benefits software services to UK
local authorities. We will fully engage with the Commission in their review.
