DVLA web hosting contract win

Connect is delighted to announce a new contract with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency to provide website implementation, maintenance and hosting services for their Sale of Marks website.

Won through competitive tender, the contract will support the DVLA’s web presence for promoting the sales of Personalised Registrations. The site provides potential customers with information on how the sales scheme operates and allows customers to search for available registration marks, find out prices and proceed to purchase.

The three-year contract includes a fully managed, resilient web hosting service at Connect’s ISO 27001 accredited data centre, backed up by Disaster Recovery provision at Connect’s own offsite DR facility.

Connect’s Carole Boardman said “We are really pleased that DVLA have chosen Connect to support what is an important and high profile service for them. The Sale of Marks is a business critical service for DVLA, generating income for the government – especially important in the current financial situation. As such, we are absolutely committed to providing a resilient and reliable hosting service to support the business.”
