Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. (TCS) said it has been selected by Transport for London (TfL) to design, implement and operate a new smart mobility system for administration of taxi and private- hire vehicles in London.
Over the 10-year contract, which can be extended by 5 years, TCS will digitally transform taxi and private-hire licensing and administration, as well as implement continuous improvements and innovation, responding to evolving industry trends and customer demands, it said in a statement without quantifying the size of the deal.
TCS will design and introduce the new system using its DigiGOV framework for rapid digital transformation. The system will include an on-demand data and records management system that will enhance user experience by offering services like licensing payments and refunds to vehicle operators and owners through digital channels, it added.
