The City of London Police has announced Capita will be one of the suppliers for a new fraud reporting service, which will replace the current Action Fraud set-up. The contract award comes despite Capita being under investigation by data regulator the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) over multiple data breaches affecting the public sector.
Capita will work with PwC UK to provide the new fraud and cybercrime reporting service, according to a City of London Police announcement released earlier this week. This service is part of the Government's Fraud Strategy and will replace Action Fraud. The Home Office has committed to spending more than £30m across three years on the replacement, alongside contributions from the City of London Corporation.
