Capita has been named as preferred bidder by Blackburn with Darwen Council to become its technical services partner. The partnership is expected to be worth at least 60m for an initial term of five years, with the ability to extend for another five years.

The deal will see Capita and the Council form a new flexible partnership, with Capita providing a blend of services and business cases that will deliver savings, income and growth for the borough. The deal will build the North of Englands first place-based partnership, creating new opportunities around the development of land, local assets and skills that generate income and transform Blackburn with Darwen.

The core of the new contract includes technical services such as highways and property. The Council will also draw down a wide range of expertise from across Capita to enable it to deliver a strategic transformation over the next five years. Beyond generating savings through reducing costs and increasing efficiencies across the Council, Capita will also work with the Council to generate new income through the commercialisation of existing services and assets.

The contract includes a wider 2bn framework, which allows a number of other public organisations to directly procure Capitas services for a wide range of infrastructure and development projects. This includes organisations within Blackburn with Darwen, across Lancashire, including all 14 other councils within Lancashire, and the wider neighbouring region.
