Capita/NWR Projects

[Kingman66]

Evening folks,

Are there any Capita/NWR contractors on here that have been given any direction of late?.. Same boat as many I guess, Been eating the daily soup of the day with a fork since the Autumn and all of a sudden Romes burning with 4 weeks to go!

TIA

I know one part of Capita sent out a letter to all of its contractors. I didn't say anything new but included an email address in case people had questions.

I understand that they were expecting determinations from PSBs by 10th March. A date that probably assumed the ESS tool would be released on time.

Kingsman. I take it you've not seen the leaked presentation to the board from Tuesdays Exec meeting in Brum. Basically it looks like we're all in through Capita 😩

A lot of us in our office are off.

No mate wasn't aware of it. I've heard NR have issued a chart basically saying if you are labour or service then your inside and have since heard they are waiting on the tool and that will be that, bits of this and that but nothing officially announced to contractors.

Anyway possible to view this leaked presentation online pal?

Had that same email. It didn't tell us anything we didn't all ready know.

I work along side Network Rail Contractor's and have heard similar rumours about reviews incoming for key / senior roles to remain outside IR35. Similar rumours from TFL after the initial scare. I wouldn't like the uncertainty at this late stage however, and many are moving on.

I might get some flak for saying this on a predominately IT Contractor Message Board, but Engineers are in high-demand and it's a skill set that's not easily replaced / replicated by off-shoring.

No flak here, it's probably true.

I think most people would agree with you Though I guess that there's nothing to stop a big overseas company bidding for work and winning it and using other avenues to resource the projects.

I'm advising my kids to get into trades such as central heating engineer, gas engineer, electrician etc. Something that requires a physical presence and qualifications in some complex safety regulations.

Anything that accommodates remote working is a red flag in a global market.
