The geography of UKVCAS service points is not fixed but rather designed to evolve with demand through the contract term.
Sopra Steria undertook extensive market research to identify it\u2019s initial service locations; their research included the impact on customer travel time, cost and accessibility.
Sopra Steria can also cater for customers who wish to have more flexi-ble on-demand, mobile application services, for example at university campuses, employers\u2019 offices or individual customers\u2019 homes.
All service centres will comply with the Equality Act 2010 and Health and Safety Act 1974, this will include the provision of wheelchair access, disabled toilets and baby changing areas.<\/p>"}
