The procurement process was conducted by the Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) for the supply and delivery of corporate clothing and personal protective equipment (PPE) to support its staff across various operational areas. The contract, titled "DVLA Corporate Clothing," falls under the industry category of clothing, footwear, luggage articles, and accessories. Situated in Swansea, Wales, the contracting authority completed the tender process with a contract awarded value of £152,907.76. The procurement followed a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, and the contract period extends from 9th June 2023 to 8th June 2027.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses primarily in the apparel and PPE sectors, especially those that are small to medium enterprises (SMEs) as suitability criteria favour them.
