Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) is currently in the planning stage for the procurement of an Open Banking Service, with an early engagement notice. This procurement falls under the financial transaction processing and clearing-house services industry category. The agency, based in Swansea, Wales, intends to use a dynamic purchasing system, though this approach is still under consideration. An online webinar has been scheduled for 8th January 2025 for initial market engagement, and interested parties must register their interest by 20th December 2024. The procurement process is aimed at enhancing the DVLA's payment systems, specifically for Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) and refunds.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in financial transaction services, particularly those with expertise in Open Banking. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) are especially encouraged to participate. The tender process aims to find solutions that facilitate secure online payments and refunds, avoiding the need for variable recurring payments or wider use of Open Banking applications. Companies with capabilities in these areas and interested in growing their portfolio through government contracts will find this an excellent opportunity to partner with the DVLA.
