Availability and resilience
- Guaranteed availability
-
Service availability is managed through robust operational processes and proactive capacity planning. Availability Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are defined on a case-by-case basis, tailored to the specific requirements of each engagement. This approach ensures alignment with client expectations and the complexity of the service being delivered.
Where an SLA is agreed, it will specify the target availability level, monitoring approach, and reporting frequency. In the event that agreed availability levels are not met, any remedies or service credits will be outlined within the individual contract terms. These provisions are designed to reflect the scope and nature of the service, ensuring fairness and transparency.
Capita does not apply a one-size-fits-all SLA model; instead, we work collaboratively with clients to establish realistic and achievable availability targets that support operational continuity. This flexibility allows us to accommodate varying workloads, peak demand periods, and bespoke service configurations. - Approach to resilience
- This information is available on request.
- Outage reporting
-
In the event of a service outage, Capita will notify affected users promptly via email or telephone within 24 hours of the outage being identified. This communication will include details of the issue, the impact on service, and any steps being taken to resolve it.
Currently, we do not provide a public dashboard or API for outage reporting. However, our Client Relationship Team ensures direct and transparent communication with designated contacts to minimise disruption and keep stakeholders informed.
For critical incidents, escalation procedures are in place to prioritise resolution and provide regular updates until service is restored. Post-resolution, a summary report outlining the cause, corrective actions, and any preventative measures will be shared with the client.
This approach ensures timely, clear, and accountable communication during service interruptions.
