Connect is delighted to announce a new contract with the
Department for Transport for the provision of data sites to support
the department’s procurement projects.
The commission – our first under the new Buying Solutions Software Applications framework for
Web Design and Content Management – will initially create sites
to support passenger rail franchising, enabling several projects to
be securely catered for simultaneously.
The data sites will be underpinned by a web-based document
management system (DMS) that will enable the department to upload
documents and other information and to track user viewings. The
selected DMS is Peoplepoint – Connect’s own proven solution for
managing information-rich data sites.
The two-year contract includes a fully managed, resilient
hosting service at Connect’s ISO 27001 accredited data centre.
Following our success on previous frameworks such as Catalist
and now the recent award of a place on the Software Applications
framework, Connect is delighted to be able to continue to offer the
DfT and other public sector customers excellent value for money and
rapid procurement through this new framework.
