How it works

  1. Schedule the series: Share your exam timetable and sites. We book collections and delivery windows against each session.
  2. Sealed collection: Papers are packed in tamper-evident bags or containers. Seal numbers are recorded and signed for at collection.
  3. Direct, tracked transit: One driver, one vehicle, one route, with no stops or transfers. Live tracking runs throughout.

Secure Exam Paper Transport FAQs

Can you meet a fixed delivery window before an exam starts?

What does the chain of custody record include?

Seal numbers, the names and signatures of everyone handling the papers, timestamps, GPS route data and photos at collection and delivery.

Are your drivers DBS checked?

Yes. All drivers on exam work are DBS checked and carry photo ID, which your staff can verify on arrival.

Can you collect completed scripts after the exam?

Yes. We collect completed scripts and deliver them to the awarding body, marker or central site under the same sealed and signed process.
