Competition Commission scuppers Capita takeover

Crapita....Service....?

"This would allow the company to hike prices unfairly or reduce service levels."

How can Crapita's service levels be reduced any further? What a fucking joke

Thumb Down

About time

Crapita has the most appalling record, yet (like EDS) remains the darling of the public sector. Their efforts to run the criminal records bureau has resulted in thousands of false positives (God knows how you correct one of those) and they won a £60m contract to run an NHS website! Who else was asked to tender for that - Croesus?

Phew!

when I read the title I thought that someone had tried to take over crapita and failed. There's a company which deserves to be shot through both lungs and thrown through the airlock.

Why don't the government...

Make their own SIMS like system?

Think about it. Sims costs about £2K a year and then £1.5K a year for support (Very needed).

£3.5K per school.

There's about 20,000 schools in England, so that's £70m a year spent on sims. (I know not all schools use sims, guesstimates)

You give me £10m and I could easily produce software to rival sims and no doubt better it by far, with change.

Then distribute this to every school free of charge. The savings would be huge.

Capita reduce services...

Good one... I didn't think that they could reduce their level of service any further.

Joke

probably a duplicate, but

Crapita provide services? I knew I'd spot the Reg doing an April fool story today.

Missed opportunity

They should have allowed it on condition the post-merger name was changed to IBS Crapita.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome sums them up perfectly.
