Sheffield Council extends contract with Capita

20 January 2015

          Extension to Capita's partnership with Sheffield City Council          

Capita plc (`Capita') announces today that Sheffield City Council has chosen to
extend its existing seven-year transformation partnership with Capita, which
commenced in January 2009, by up to a further six years, as allowed by the
initial contract. This follows approval by the Council's cabinet on November
12, 2014. The extension of the contract will generate additional revenue to
Capita of approximately £140 - £170 million and will run from January 2016 to
January 2022.

Under the terms of the extension, Capita will continue to deliver the core
range of services on behalf of the Council, including ICT, revenues, benefits,
HR and payroll and financial business transactions.

Capita will also provide additional business change capacity where it will work
in partnership with the Council to define and deliver projects designed to
raise revenue and save money. The partnership has identified the potential to
generate significant additional savings for the Council over the life of the
extended contract.

Andy Parker, Chief Executive, Capita, said: "The extension of Capita's
partnership with Sheffield City Council reflects our commitment to build on our
strong working relationship, and to deliver further significant transformation
in the way services are provided by the Council. This extension will enable the
Council to benefit from Capita's wealth of experience and its capacity to drive
innovation and change.

"Capita will work with the council to help it shape services to meet the future
needs of citizens in Sheffield and we are committed to making a positive
difference for the local community."
