edisposals.com nominated for e-Government National Awards
2008
20 November 2008 - The e-commerce website of one of VEGA's key
Government clients, the Disposal Service Authority, has been
nominated for an e-Government National Award 2008.
The DSA's edisposals.com website provides expert and accessible
disposal solutions to a wide range of clients – Ministry of Defence
(MOD), Other Government Departments and Public Sector
organisations. It not only supplies a collect-to-dispose service,
but also sells a wide range of refurbished items, from socks to
computers.
Since 2002, VEGA has played a key role in ensuring that this
requirement has been met by providing a Security Assurance
Coordinator under the CLAS scheme to help define and manage the
resources and processes required to address the security
requirements of edisposals. In addition, VEGA managed and supplied
CHECK-approved staff to perform two rounds of formal penetration
and application testing of different versions of the website before
they went live in 2004 and 2005.
e-Government National Awards highlight the UK's most effective
services which improve citizen and business transaction with
councils, central government departments and other public sector
organisations.
Successful nominees will be presented with their awards on 20
January 2009 by Minister Tom Watson MP and Government CIO John
Suffolk.
