Capita Local Government Services has signed a £9.6m deal with Hart DC to deliver revenues and benefits services.

As part of the contract, 23 council staff will transfer to Capita, but will continue to be based at their existing site in Fleet. The deal was awarded via the Southampton framework agreement between Capita and Southampton City Council, which is open to public sector bodies in Hampshire, Dorset, East and West Sussex, and the Isle of Wight.
