Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process, titled "Provision of F5 Silverline WAF and DDoS Renewal," was managed by the DVLA - Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency, located in Swansea, Wales. The procurement is in the IT services category, specifically consulting, software development, Internet, and support. This contract, valued at £192,099, was conducted through a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The award status is complete, and the contract period runs from 4 April 2025 to 3 April 2026. The procurement stage was at the award phase as of the latest update on 23 April 2025, with the tender period having ended on 20 March 2025.

This tender process offers substantial business growth opportunities, especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and organisations that form part of the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector, as these were explicitly mentioned as suitable participants. Given the nature of the contract, companies specialising in IT consulting, software development, and related internet services will find this tender particularly appealing. The procurement being based in the UK but servicing broader locations such as Europe and the British Overseas Territories signifies a potentially broader market reach for the winning business. With the supplier being Computacenter UK Ltd, a large-scale enterprise, it might also present subcontracting opportunities for smaller IT service providers.
