Drivetech wins Metropolitan Police framework
Drivetech, the driver training arm of AA Business Services, has won the Metropolitan Police framework to deliver police-referred courses for driving offences for a further four years.
Drivetech is a UK leader in the delivery of police-referred driver offender courses, with improvements in road safety and people safety at its core.
Nick Butler, director at Drivetech said: “We have an established track record for helping people make better, and safer, driving decisions. We do this by sharing the latest insight into driving behaviours and challenging driving beliefs. The feedback we get shows we make a difference. We regularly measure our driver training, and are proud of delivering consistently excellent scores.
“Retention of this major contract will strengthen our ability to continue to offer robust and successful courses that will have a positive impact on driver behaviours and help to keep our roads safer for all.”
Des Morrison, director of police and public sector contracts at Drivetech added: “It is testament to our commitment to delivering high quality, effective courses and a positive customer experience that we have retained the MET Police framework for the next four years, not just delivery across London, but on behalf of seven other police regions – including City of London, Surrey, TVP, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Derbyshire and Northumbria. Working with police forces is one of the best and most effective ways that we can make roads safer for all and improve driver behaviour, reducing road injuries and deaths.”
“Each year more than half a million drivers attend our courses, helping to significantly reduce re-offending rates. Securing this contract would not be possible without the commitment of our fantastic team of staff and loyal trainers, so we want to say a big thank you to all those who have played such a huge part in delivering quality courses with excellent customer outcomes.”
The new contract will mean that Drivetech will have been the preferred delivery provider for more than 12 years of courses under the framework. All the courses are delivered under the governance of NDORS (National Driver Offender Retraining Scheme) – the national scheme that governs driver offender re-education operated by UKROEd (UK Road Offender Education) – and works collaboratively with a large number of Police Forces across the country.
The MET police led the competitive procurement process on behalf of themselves, City of London, Derbyshire, Northumbria, Thames Valley, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Surrey.
