David Lawrence, Chief Executive, Inventures said: “We are delighted to be joining Capita Symonds at a time when many of our clients are talking to us about increasing the range of services offered to them. Our clients will now be able to procure our services through Capita Symonds’ Buying Solutions frameworks as well as our own existing frameworks.”

He adds: “Our Primary Care Trusts are working more closely with Local Authorities and other public sector bodies to share buildings and support services.
