## Description
South Oxfordshire District Council, Havant Borough Council, Vale of White Horse District Council, Mendip District Council and Hart District Council ("the Councils") entered into a contract (for an initial duration of approximately 9 years) with Capita for a range of corporate and transactional services ("the Contract"). The opportunity was advertised under OJEU Notice 2015/S 057-100137 and the Contract entered into on 4 April 2016. Further details of the original Contract are set out in that OJEU Notice.
The Councils have previously varied the Contract as per notice numbers 109745-2020, 560746-2020 and 609089-2020.
The Contract permits the Councils to enter into an extension for a total period of up to 5 years from the end of the Initial Term. The Councils (with the exception of Somerset Council who will exit the Contract entirely upon expiry of the initial term on 1 October 2025), have elected to utilise the extension provision within the Contract to extend the services for Revenues & Benefits and Local Land Charges only for a period of up to 3 years from the expiry of the initial term, which may be up to October 2028 with the option to extend for an additional 2 years. South Oxfordshire District Council and Vale of White Horse District Council also wish to utilise the extension within the Contract to extend the out of hours service for Customer Services for 3 years with the option to extend for an additional 2 years.
