The authority had made Capita its preferred bidder in September for its dental contract support services and managed IT infrastructure services deal. At that time, Capita had told the Stock Exchange that the deal "will be valued at slightly over £100m".
However, the authority said on 21 January 2010 that the final value of the deal is £133m, through an announcement in the Official Journal of the European Union.
The contract, which will see about 150 staff transfer to Capita, covers the outsourcing of work by the NHS BSA's dental services division, including processing about 40m payments made each year to dentists in England and Wales for NHS work.
It also covers IT managed infrastructure services for the organisation's corporate requirements, including the prescription processing division.
