Summary of the contracting process

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), based in Bristol, England, has completed a tender for the provision of Level 6 Welsh Software Engineering services. This procurement, carried out through a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement, was classified under the 'Education and training services' category. The contract, awarded to the University of Wales St Trinity, spans from 1st July 2025 to 30th June 2029, with an overall value of £81,000. The services are to be delivered in Wales, focusing on enhancing software engineering capabilities for three individuals. The procurement process reached the award stage on 24th June 2025.

This contract presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in education and training services, particularly those specialising in software engineering. The procurement method indicates a preference for organisations agile enough to engage in framework agreements, and those based in or familiar with the Welsh region will find this an advantageous fit. Companies capable of delivering high-level educational services that align with the strategic objectives of enhancing skills in software engineering would be well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders.
