capita's huge collection ring ( tv) and other contracts
https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/05/04/capitas_huge_role_in_government_could_go_under_the_spotlight/
Analysis Capita’s sheer footprint in the public sector makes it an easy target to some extent. If you run enough notoriously failure-prone government contracts, chances are you'll come under some fire sooner or later.
But as the giant continues to win contracts, concerns are growing that the body’s role in government should be subject to greater scrutiny. Not least as more cash-strapped councils turn to its services. wrote:

I welcome any scrutiny of private sector activity, especially government/corporate partnerships. I also welcome accountability from these organisations. They siphon public money for private profit - where there is privilege there is also responsibility.

Info from Wiki:
The above is just a snapshot and whitewashes Crapita's evil actions against PIP and ESA claimants. As for Tim Farron I don't know what he expects under Capitalism other than companies driven by a profit motive.
In March 2009, Capita SIMS was said to be responsible for sending a truancy warning notice to the family of a Cheshire school pupil who had died two months before.
A £290million scheme intended to give financial support to adult learners that was opened in 2000 and scrapped in 2001 following widespread and massive fraud.
In 2002, when mandatory CRB-vetting of all workers with children was brought in, a large number of teachers were temporarily unable to work after Capita's systems had difficulty with the workload and were subsequently overwhelmed
In 2006 Capita Financial Administrators (CFA) was fined £300,000 by the Financial Services Authority for having poor anti-fraud controls
In 2015, an undercover Daily Telegraph investigation showed that in some cases locum agencies, Medicare and Team24 owned by Capita were charging some hospitals higher fees than others and giving false company details.
in January 2013 that Capita was embroiled in a scandal over misinforming people that they had to leave the U.K. as they had no valid visa.
In 2014, a leak to The Guardian revealed that the DWP had to send civil servants in to help the company process personal independence payments for the seriously ill and the disabled. "Waiting times for assessment," the newspaper noted, "have been so long that in some cases people with terminal conditions have died before receiving a penny."
Liberal Democrat leader, Tim Farron questioned how Atos and Capita could have been paid over £500m from tax payers money for assessing fitness to work as 61% who appealed won their appeals. Farron stated, “This adds to the suspicion that these companies are just driven by a profit motive, and the incentive is to get the assessments done, but not necessarily to get the assessments right. They are the ugly face of business."
The above is just a snapshot and whitewashes Crapita's evil actions against PIP and ESA claimants. As for Tim Farron I don't know what he expects under Capitalism other than companies driven by a profit motive.
