                         CAPITA SELECTED BY MARSH LTD
                AS PREFERRED OPERATIONS OUTSOURCING PARTNER



•        Agreement worth circa £200 million over 10 years, subject  to contract,
to enhance service delivery and generate significant cost savings

•        Current offshore work to transfer to Capita's offshore facilities


The Capita Group Plc ('Capita') announces that it has been selected by Marsh Ltd
('Marsh') as preferred partner to transform and deliver Marsh's services, based
in Norwich.  Subject to final negotiations, the contract to deliver Marsh UK's
back office administration functions is estimated to be worth approximately £200
million to Capita over 10 years.


Under the agreement, Capita will provide support and processing services to
enhance Marsh's broking activities to clients across its business. Marsh UK
operations are based in Norwich with some offshored services delivered by an
external provider in India.


Following due consultation, approximately 650 Marsh employees will transfer
under TUPE to Capita and the current offshored work will be transferred to
Capita's offshore facilities. Final contract negotiations are underway and
service commencement is anticipated to be early April 2008.



Capita will undertake a comprehensive transformation programme to enhance
service provision to Marsh and its clients while delivering significant
reductions in both business unit and transactional operating costs. Alongside
this service transformation, Capita will create a service centre based in
Marsh's existing Norwich premises with the capacity and expertise to support
other work.



Paul Pindar, Chief Executive of The Capita Group commented: 'Capita is delighted
to be entering this partnership with Marsh, which we believe will provide
significant value to both organisations. Our service re-engineering expertise
combined with our extensive London insurance market knowledge will enable us to
enhance the competitiveness of Marsh in the UK and global insurance markets. The
Marsh management team have made strong headway in laying the foundations for
service transformation and we look forward to successfully building on this
together.'



Martin South, CEO of Marsh UK added: 'We have selected Capita as our preferred
partner due to its excellent track record of service transformation and delivery
in the insurance and wider financial services markets. Capita's proposal
provides us with an exciting opportunity to enhance our service quality at
reduced cost. Capita has clearly demonstrated their ability to add real value to
Marsh both immediately and to support our ambitions.'
