About
DESNZ awarded a contract to CAPITA BUSINESS SERVICES LTD for the administration and delivery of benefit services for former British Coal Corporation employees.
The contract, valued at £6,000,000, covers matters such as fraud and error, irrecoverable losses, instructions on solid fuel entitlements, and management of cash entitlements.
This follows the March 1995 privatisation of the coal industry, where HM Government inherited a legal obligation to fulfill a contractual legacy entitlement to solid fuel or cash-in-lieu for certain former employees.
