Capita Share Discussion Threads

ACTION....not true.

Firstly, contracts are awarded because Capita knows how to tick boxes....a real expert at that and those boxes will "Prove" that Capita is in the financial "Pink".

And secondly, bureaucrats awarding contracts don't care. They'll expect someone else to pick up the pieces as they wait for their pension.

Capita is on a "Framework" and that's all that counts and I'm assuming Schroder's is buying because it expects a T/O. Time for a humane killing.

all i see is good news keep appearing, it keeps coming, market sentiment is on its knees, cant see it getting up either very soon, long term this is a good place to be, been some big buys recently as well, surely it must bottom out.....

Capita plc has secured a five-year contract worth £788,000 to deliver an integrated communication control system to North Wales Fire and Rescue Service (NWFRS), to support its transition to the new Emergency Services Network (ESN).

Capita’s DS3000 software solution will support NWFRS in transforming its control room operations and will maintain connectivity to both the current Airwave emergency network and ESN when it becomes available. Capita will also provide a fully managed support service.

The new solution includes an ESN-ready ‘dispatch communication server’ interface that will enable NWFRS to connect to the latest ‘stepping stone’ the new system to maintain mission-critical communications.

DS3000 provides a single touchscreen control capability to deliver a unified platform for telephone and radio communications, both crucial to control room operations.

Capita’s software will deliver a resilient service that is replicated across both the main and ‘fall-backR17; control rooms. In addition to connecting both control rooms sites, the DS3000 will enable access to a third ‘out-of-area’ site. This will improve telephone resilience and increase technical capacity to the control room as a whole.

Paul Eggleton, managing director of Capita’s Secure Solutions and Services, said: “Capita is the leading provider of communications platforms to the UK’s emergency services. This new partnership with North Wales Fire and Rescue Service is built on our expertise and digital innovation in the emergency services sector.”

Richard Fairhead, assistant chief fire officer, North Wales Fire and Rescue Service, said: “We are going through an important transition for our control room operations that will help improve services and increase operational effectiveness. Capita’s solution will not only support us in delivering services but will futureproof us for ESN as well as other technical and operational changes on the horizon.”

Capita has been delivering integrated and advanced systems to emergency services for more than 30 years. Capita’s solutions are used in over 100 control rooms including police, fire and rescue, ambulance trusts, HM Coastguard, Highways England, British Transport Police and Ministry of Defence Police.

ANy ideas why this is getting walked down again ?

[davethehorse] 20/10/2020 08:37

Not looking good chartwise

[aljm] 19/10/2020 11:15

2 massive trades just gone through, 10 mill between them.look like buys

[dealy] 16/10/2020 09:09

they buy 12% of the company and it falls to an an all time low. Relentless selling obviously by others (or shorting)

[notimpressed] 16/10/2020 08:27

schroders obviously think its oversold

[lastchance23] 16/10/2020 04:36

If it was a US listed stock it would be the other way round. UK is a pessimist market.

[feelthepain] 15/10/2020 15:01

What winds me up is ESS sale causes a small boost on announcement of a possible sale.Now there are rumours it is not selling/not reaching expected price it drops twice as much as the original gain.It's a mug,'s game.

[owlbaby] 15/10/2020 14:33

Oh no but unfortunately we aren't surprised are we?

The leadership has been hopelessly uncommercial on many fronts & seem to have been easily had over on ESS.

The boss would be better off doing geology again & hopefully starting this December.

[pyglet] 15/10/2020 13:31

Trouble vis why would anyone want to buy something that someone is off loading. The ESS is incredibly overly complicated - I know my wife uses it. It needs redesigning from the bottom up. IMO

[dealy] 15/10/2020 13:29

of course we never hear anything directly from the company

[dealy] 15/10/2020 12:58

just saw a news headline on bloomberg saying they were disappointed with the offers put forward for the education software business

[sr2day] 15/10/2020 12:54

25p,20p,20p,15p,10p,and finally 5p.it may just stop there if we are lucky but won,t hold my breath.

[feelthepain] 14/10/2020 17:15

I'd like to share the optimism that this is just following the market. But the reality is that it drops at any excuse and often several times for exactly the same event.On the other hand it rarely moves up even when there is good news.Very disappointing.

[dealy] 14/10/2020 15:27

low volume price meltdown for many small cap companies this week

[thewheeliedealer] 13/10/2020 20:20

Hi all,

My mate Peter @Conkers3 and myself did a ‘Twin Petes Investing’ Podcast a few days ago and part of our discussion includes CPI and our take on increasing need for effective IT in government. We also chatted about loads of other Stocks and some Ideas for research, and the outlook for Markets and as usual a fair bit of educational stuff with regards to Investing.

Anyway, if you use Apple, Audioboom, Overcast or Spotify you can find it under the 'Conkers Corner' Channel (you want TPI Podcast 33) and you can find it on Soundcloud at the link below.

I hope you enjoy it and find it useful,

Cheers, WD

Capita plc has secured a four-year agreement to deliver network and telecommunications services through the latest framework of YPO, one of the largest public-sector buying organisations in the UK.

The new framework – Network Connectivity and Telecommunications Solutions 976 – will cover sourcing, procurement, delivery and support for the framework’s ‘lots’ that include wide area networks, local area networks, digital fibre infrastructure, smart cities and the internet of things, cyber security, communications services, and mobile, voice and data solutions.

The framework will be open to all public sector organisations, including the police, fire and rescue services and the NHS, and all central government departments, as well as registered charities.

Capita has been delivering network connectivity and telecommunications solutions to public sector organisations for more than 30 years. Earlier this year, Capita became the sole supplier on the ICT Managed Service for Education framework.

Mark Cook, executive officer of Capita’s Technology Solutions division, said: “Capita’s digital capability, and track record in delivering procurement services across the public sector, match perfectly with this new framework. Our digital experience gives us a clear understanding of what organisations need to deliver faster and better services to their communities.”

Robyn Lamport-Rann, category buyer - ICT, YPO, said: “This framework was launched following customer demand for an easy-to-use, compliant route to procuring network and telecommunications services from a single marketplace. It includes all the latest technologies that any organisation will need to transform its services and how it communicates with the public.”

In my opinion CPI is a glaringly obvious bargain currently. Any news regarding the offload of planned divisions which are currently up for sale, and we're back to 60p as a first stop. 150p is my 2021 target.

[owlbaby] 09/10/2020 10:35

that is right, imagine if the IIs had sold, IMO they remember the regularity the dull routine processing work led to in dividends

moving up a bit today

[dealy] 08/10/2020 19:07

where would we be if they hadn't bought 7% of the company of the company over last weeks? beggars belief.Rolls Royce doubled over the past 5 days
