Sopra Steria Widens Capita Contract Challenge

Sopra Steria expanded its legal challenge to Capita's Department for Work and Pensions shared services contract after obtaining an unredacted copy. It alleges undisclosed terms gave Capita preferential treatment and shifted risk to the DWP. Capita values the deal at £370 million; government documents put it as high as £873.4 million. The DWP denies unequal treatment.
