The deal is less than 40% of the £958.7 million estimated procurement value. Rival bidder Sopra Steria has launched a legal challenge alleging Capita's bid was 'abnormally low,' based on staffing levels significantly below requirements, and that the DWP conducted post-award renegotiations excluding Sopra Steria. The PCS union has also criticized the award, citing Capita's ongoing problems with the Civil Service Pension Scheme. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
