Summary of the contracting process

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has concluded the contract award stage with the announcement of an extension for the payment gateway services contract with Barclays Bank PLC. Covering the banking services category, this contract addresses the DVSA’s need to transition away from the incumbent system to an in-sourced model due to interoperability issues. The procurement was carried out through a negotiation without prior publication under Regulation 32 due to the absence of competition for technical reasons. The contract is valued at £3,600,000 and will span the locations of the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The contract period is set to start on 1st January 2025 and end on 31st December 2026.

This contract extension presents significant opportunities for firms specialising in payment gateway services and banking operations. It is particularly advantageous for businesses capable of managing extensive and complex banking requirements, and with the technical ability to ensure system interoperability as required by the DVSA. Although the current award does not favour SMEs or VCSEs, larger enterprises with relevant experience and capacity would find this opportunity beneficial for showcasing their capabilities and expanding their market presence in both the public sector and diverse geographical regions.
