Drivetech is to deliver Metropolitan Police-referred courses for driving offences for a further four years after retaining the framework.

Drivetech has retained the Met Police framework for the next four years

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).

Drivetech, which operates as the driver training arm of AA Business Services, is a UK leader in the delivery of such courses thanks to its focus on driving improvements in road safety and people safety.

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: “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.”

The Met Police framework not only includes delivery across London, but also on behalf of seven other police regions – including City of London, Surrey, Thames Valley, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Derbyshire and Northumbria.
