Renewed Contract for MOT Computerisation

June 2010

MOT Computerisation has been installed in over 20,000 garages throughout Great Britain, from the Shetlands to the Scilly Isles and has been described by PA Consulting as "probably the most complicated, bespoke business system that government has deployed." [See article here]

Neil Hargrave, Service Director at Siemens IT Solutions and Services Ltd says "On behalf of Siemens IT Solutions and Services, Burall manufactured the smartcard readers currently deployed in the Garages as part of the VTS [Vehicle Test Station] Device installation. Further to this contract Burall also manufactures, programs and personalises the smartcards currently in use by all authorised persons to access these systems.

"The collaboration between Siemens IT Solutions and Services and Burall started in 2002 when Burall was invited to tender for the development of the Smartcard Reader and Smartcard production element of the MOT Computerisation systems. This delivery of the solution is strengthened by their ability to react proactively to requests for information.

"Burall support has contributed to MOT Computerisation winning both National IT Industry and Government excellence awards in 2007 and additional awards in later years. Siemens continues to work with Burall in delivering the MOT Computerisation solution and services."
