LEZ changes hands

Capita Plc has been selected as the service provider for a new Congestion Charging and Low Emission Zone (LEZ) contract in London. The decision follows a 12 month competitive tendering process. Capita will be responsible for the day to day operation of the schemes from October 2015, when the current contract with IBM expires. It will provide the IT, back office systems and customer contract centre for the Congestion Charge and LEZ schemes. The contract is for five years and includes an option to extend for a further five years.
