Network Rail has awarded a two-year contract to the Licence Bureau to supply driver licence checking services.

The contract, announced after a tender process which started in August 2013, sees Licence Bureau starting a partnership to deliver Network Rail’s driver licence validation service and help improve its driver and fleet safety. 

Licence Bureau chief executive Malcolm Maycock (pictured) said: “We are delighted to bring on board yet another major UK employer, one that has the eighth largest road fleet in the UK.

“Network Rail only considered companies for the tender who were ISO27001 accredited due to the importance of data security. Our business has always been managed with information safekeeping as a core discipline.”
