Senior British Army generals have defended Capita's disastrous Recruiting Partnership Project (RPP) IT contract – despite confessing that the military will miss this year's recruiting targets by 40 per cent.
Lieutenant General Tyrone Urch, the general officer commanding (GOC) Home Command, told Parliament's Public Accounts Committee yesterday that the £1.3bn RPP contract, signed in 2012, was hamstrung partly because the Army initially insisted that Capita used the ancient, creaky Defence Information Infrastructure (DII) IT system to deliver recruits to the armed forces.
