Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process, overseen by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), pertains to the "Microsoft Unified Support 2025" contract, focusing on IT services such as consulting, software development, Internet, and support. Classified under the CPV code 72000000, this contract fits within the services industry category and is situated in the South West region of the United Kingdom, specifically in Bristol, England. The process adopted a direct procurement method through a single tender action, aimed at below the threshold values. The tender process was completed with the award phase concluding on 25th April 2025, and the contract period set from 16th April 2025 to 15th April 2026, valued at £310,559 GBP.

This procurement offers substantial growth opportunities, especially for large businesses capable of delivering comprehensive IT support services aligned with Microsoft standards. Although the contract was directly awarded to Microsoft Limited, understanding such procurement processes can help similar large-scale IT providers prepare for upcoming contracts by aligning their services to meet the demands of government agencies like DVSA. This scenario underscores the importance of building a robust portfolio in IT consultancy and support services for businesses seeking to engage with public sector contracts.
