Tata Consultancy Services won a seven-year, Rs 10,000 crore contract to digitally transform the UK Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency, one of the largest IT services deals in European government history. The contract covers a full modernisation of the DVLA backend systems, migration to cloud infrastructure, development of citizen-facing digital portals, and a new AI-powered fraud detection platform. TCS beat competing bids from Accenture, Capgemini, and IBM in the final procurement round.
TCS CEO K. Krithivasan said the DVLA win demonstrates TCS ability to lead large-scale government digital transformation programmes and adds to the company growing portfolio of UK public sector work. The contract will be delivered from TCS delivery centres in Chennai, Hyderabad, and from a dedicated onshore team of 800 professionals based in the UK. India IT industry body NASSCOM called the win a prestigious achievement for Indian IT services at a time when the sector is navigating headwinds from automation and slower growth in private sector IT spending from key North American and European clients.
