Summary of the contracting process

The Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) has awarded a contract for a Digital Services Delivery Partner to Deloitte LLP. This procurement process, under the industry category of Software Programming and Consultancy Services, was conducted as a call-off from a framework agreement using a selective procurement method. The process has reached the 'award' stage, with the contract running from 2nd October 2023 to 1st October 2026. The contract value is £4,000,000 with delivery centred in Swansea, Wales, United Kingdom. The project aims to support DVLA's broad portfolio of digital and technology work, meeting urgent and critical government needs.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses in digital services and consultancy. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would find this opportunity particularly appealing due to the project’s fast-paced and dynamic nature, requiring short-term support to achieve desired outcomes. Engaging in such high-profile government projects can enhance a company’s reputation and provide a platform for demonstrating capabilities in line with Government Digital Service Standards. With the potential for strategic long-term project involvement, businesses with robust digital consultancy experience are well-suited to compete in future opportunities of this nature.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Provision of Digital Services Delivery Partner

Notice Description

DVLA have a broad portfolio of Digital and Technology work and regularly support the delivery of urgent work to underpin the Governments response to emergencies/critical needs. The unplanned and often critical nature of demand require a supplier to work at pace to meet user needs, in line with wider Government Digital Service Standards and assurances. In order to meet new demand quickly, we often need to call on a partner's skills, support and experience for a short time to deliver the outcomes of changes. On other occasions, the supplier may be working to support the delivery of longer-term outcomes on a strategic project, as part of a blended team.
