Gemalto beats IBM to driving licence contract

Today we hear more news of an incumbent (this time IBM) being ousted from a UK Government contract. Gemalto has won the DVLA contract for the administration of UK drivers’ licences. This also includes digital tachograph cards and the supply of biometric residents permits. The original OJEU notice valued the contract at between £60m and £300m. Gemalto might not be a familiar name to many readers but you may know more about them than you think. Its win over IBM gives us yet more insight into UK Government's changing buying behaviours. Subcribers can read more in UKHotViewsExtra. If you're not yet a subscriber please contact Deb Seth.
