Equanet gains place at Capita's top table

Love is in the air as Equanet bags coveted Strategic Supplier status with outsourcing juggernaut

Equanet has become one of just 22 Strategic Suppliers for outsourcing giant Capita in what it is labelling a ‘significant agreement’.

The corporate reseller, which is part of DSGi Business, will provide a range of project-based services to Capita as part of the framework. This includes lifecycle desktop services, remote IT management, maintenance and support.

Jerry Roest, managing director of Equanet, stated: “This is a very significant agreement for Equanet. Capita is a leading player in the outsourcing market and chooses its suppliers very carefully.

“As one of only 22 Strategic Suppliers, Equanet has demonstrated the ability to carry out a wide range of IT services with a focus on quality and price. While this agreement builds on our close working relationship with Capita going back several years, it also shows how a long-term partnership can work successfully.”

David Murphy, Capita Group procurement director, said: “This agreement further strengthens our relationship with Equanet and DSGI. The framework, awarded under the Capita Strategic Supplier Programme, will enable Equanet to provide a range of services and solutions focused on delivering enhanced value to our businesses.”
