ITIL Intellectual Capital and brand now owned by new Joint Venture Company

Recently, the Cabinet Office in the UK launched a search (tender) to find a partner to build a Joint Venture company. This Joint Venture company would own and enhance the intellectual capital within the Best Management Practice’ portfolio which includes the PRINCE2® project management and ITIL® IT services standards.

The Cabinet Office has announced their selection of Capita as the partner to build the Joint Venture Company. Capita is one of the UK’s largest providers of business process management and integrated professional support service solutions, with 52,500 staff across the UK, Europe, South Africa and India.
