RE: Government gives £700m payroll contact to Capita26 Feb 2026 15:05
Straight from the union!
The deal sits within the government’s “Synergy” shared services cluster, part of a strategy to collapse 286 legacy systems into five major platforms through a single cloud-based system to cover HR, payroll, finance and procurement.
This means simply that this is the first of many! Once this has rolled out others will follow. At the value of this contract the potential is huge. It also gives the Gov the ability to simplify terms and conditions to CS staff. Giving all CS staff similar terms and conditions.
The procurement opportunity has huge potential especially for NHS!
Countdown has started!
Savage £25 here we come!
