Capita PLC
Capita PLC is a UK business services company that runs outsourced work for other organizations, especially the public sector and large corporations. It handles tasks such as customer contact centers, administration, payroll, pensions processing, HR support, and some technology and consulting work. In simple terms, it takes over routine but essential back-office and customer-service jobs so clients can focus on their core business. Its customers include government departments, local authorities, transport bodies, utilities, insurers, and other large enterprises that need long-term help with administration and service delivery. Capita usually makes money through contracts and service fees, often tied to managing a specific process or operating a service on behalf of a client. Some work is project-based, but much of the business comes from ongoing outsourced arrangements. What makes Capita different is its role as an intermediary between clients and the end users of those services. It sits in the middle of complex public and private workflows, where reliability, compliance, and scale matter more than flashy technology. That means its business depends on trust, contract execution, and operational efficiency rather than on selling a single product.

Growth: Capita said it is on track for at least 8% organic growth this year and remains strongly positioned for 2015, helped by continued sales momentum and large contract wins.
Pipeline: The bid pipeline stood at GBP 4.1 billion, with 60% in the private sector and 40% in the public sector; management said the pipeline remains well replenished despite several big deals moving through.
Margins: Management reiterated confidence in a 12.5% to 13% margin range and said nothing in the current bidding or win mix changes that view.
Next year: Management said about 5% of next year’s growth is already “in the bag,” including roughly 2% from acquisitions and 3% from organic growth, with the Co-op deal still pending completion.
Deal discipline: Capita walked away from some contracts because of terms it viewed as unsustainable, especially around pricing and risk transfer, saying it will not sign deals where the customer pushes uncontrollable risk onto the contractor.
M&A: The acquisition pipeline was described as very strong, with 13 acquisitions completed this year, a few more expected before year-end, and no real change in deal availability going into next year.
