National Highways has appointed Version 1 as a long term strategic cloud partner to support its digital transformation.
They have agreed on a five-year contract, with the possibility of a two-year extension, valued at £47.5 million for managed services and collaboration across the agency’s infrastructure and platforms, says UK Authority.
The company has been providing cross-cloud adoption, implementation and support services to National Highways for six years, providing over 500 cloud specialists and accreditation for all the main cloud platforms, and the new contract will build on the relationship.
Craig Bromage, head of infrastructure and platforms at National Highways, said: “We were looking for a long term partner to work with us in a modern, agile DevSecOps approach and having the skills we need to deliver our innovative strategy to meet both current and future organisational skills.
“Version 1 has already helped us make significant progress in transforming and transitioning legacy infrastructure to our cloud offering. We are very excited to be moving into the next phase, expanding the cloud capability and modernising our ways of working as we continue to deliver and improve our service to road users, making journeys better and safer.”
