1-12-08 VOSA honoured with third award for MOT Computerisation
The Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) has won the Operational Delivery Award in the third annual Civil Service Awards in London. The award recognises good practice in operational delivery where customer needs have been placed at the heart of the design and implementation of the policy, services to citizens have been demonstrably improved and where effective partnerships have been established between civil servants and front line delivery agents.
Stephen Tetlow, VOSA Chief Executive collected the award from Sir Gus O'Donnell, the Cabinet Secretary, and was joined by DfT Permanent Secretary Robert Devereux.
Stephen Tetlow said:"VOSA is extremely proud to have won a third national award. The Operational Delivery award is a very special one for us. It recognises how we have been striving hard to deliver real benefits for the motor and transport industries and for private citizens.
The award also reflects the close working relationships we have established with our partners and our customers. It's been a genuine team effort. We will be keeping up the momentum and building on this success together to ensure we keep on innovating and improving our service in the future."
Gordon Brown, Prime Minister and Minister for the Civil Service said:
“The Civil Service awards are a showcase for the achievements of people who work hard everyday to serve the public. I am delighted to have the opportunity to add my personal thanks to all those civil servants who work so diligently, often behind the scenes, to provide effective services across the country. The winners remind us why the UK Civil Service has a world class reputation and it’s right that we recognise and reward their hard work. I congratulate all the winners. ”
This is the third high profile national award won by MOT Computerisation. On 6 Dec 2007 VOSA was announced as the winner in the category Best Project Business to Business at the British Computer Society (BCS) IT Industry Awards. On 22 January 2008 MOT Computerisation was named as winner at the e-Government National Awards in the category ‘Central e-Government excellence: Take-up and usage growth.’
