Summary of the contracting process

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has completed a procurement process for "Software Licences and Maintenance Support" with an emphasis on obtaining software from a Value-Added Reseller. The procurement falls under the industry category of software package and information systems, with the CPV code 48000000. This selective procurement was conducted as a call-off from a framework agreement. The process moved to the award stage on 31 March 2025, with Phonenix Software being awarded a contract valued at £38,000,000. The contract period spans from 31 March 2025 to 31 March 2028. The service encompasses the UK and extends to other regions, including British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, and worldwide locations.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in software procurement and maintenance support services. Although the contract has been awarded to Phonenix Software, similar opportunities may arise, benefiting businesses that offer software solutions, particularly those with the capability to deliver Microsoft and non-Microsoft software needs. The contract's scope suggests that large-scale enterprises or businesses able to meet high-value service demands stand to gain from participating in similar selective procurement opportunities with public sector organisations like the DVSA.
