Summary of the contracting process

The DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency), based in Swansea, Wales, has recently finalised the procurement process for the "HGV Road Levy - Foreign Operator Payment Service." This service aims to provide a secure payment interface for foreign HGVs operating in the UK, allowing payments and refund claims prior to journeys. The contract, classified under the 'Business transaction and personal business software package' category, features a total value of £29,500,000 and is part of a selective procurement process, initiated through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period spans from 2nd September 2013 to 2nd March 2020, with the tender period having concluded on 31st December 2018.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in payment processing, software development, or services related to transportation compliance and enforcement. Companies that can provide secure payment solutions compatible with enforcement systems, particularly those skilled in integrating technology with regulatory frameworks, will find themselves well-positioned to compete. This engagement is especially pertinent for larger enterprises, as the tender has noted that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may not be suitable for this particular opportunity.

Notice Title

Foreign Operator Payment Service

Notice Description

Provide a secure payment interface, allow payments to be made prior to the journey being undertaken in the UK, enable carriers to pay through a variety of payment methods, claim refunds and manage accounts. Payment data must interface with the enforcement authorities to enable: *Checks to be made at the roadside by an enforcement officer to establish that the levy has been paid, and that the correct amount of levy has been paid for the foreign HGV being operated. *Proactive enforcement of levy payment by foreign HGV to the undertaken via automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras for vehicles entering and leaving the UK. *Possibly, targeting of foreign HGVs that serially fail to pay, or underpay the HGV levy. Facilitate compliance to ensure that foreign HGV compliance with levy is maximised from date of the levy introduction: *The levy fulfils its objective of creating a fairer competitive environment between foreign and domestic hauliers by foreign operators contributing to some road maintenance costs through payment of the charge whilst in the UK. *The tax revenue generated by the foreign HGVs paying the levy is maximised within budgetary constraints *The enforcement resource required to deter non-compliance can be kept to an appropriate level primarily focused on those foreign HGVs that have deliberately chosen to avoid paying the levy.
