Incentivised contract gave Capita 2.5% extra payment if target for removals was exceeded
The private company that detained and removed Britons from the Windrush generation had an incentivised Home Office contract that paid extra money if it deported more people, according to newly released documents.
The information, sent to a parliamentary committee investigating the Windrush scandal, shows that the Home Office’s contract with Capita gave the company a bonus payment of 2.5% on top of the normal fee above a certain target for removals from the UK, rising to 12.5% once the total exceeded the target by 10%.
