Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured driver licence checking services, supported by an IT software package (CPV 48517000). The requirement is for checking driving licences, with delivery associated with the council’s area in the South East of England, including Chichester (PO19 1RQ). The procurement is classified as a service and was intended to support the council’s operational need to verify driver licence information. The council is the buying organisation. The recorded supplier, Drivercheck Ltd, is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist smaller provider with relevant licence-checking and software capability. The service is focused on driver licence verification rather than general software supply or broader transport services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender value was £30,000. The award date was 19 April 2024, following a submission deadline of 12 April 2024 at 12:00. Three active award records are recorded separately: Drivercheck Ltd was awarded £30,000 for 26 April 2024 to 25 April 2026; DRIVER CHECK LIMITED was awarded £30,000 for 26 April 2024 to 25 April 2027; and DRIVER CHECK LIMITED was awarded a further £30,000 for 26 April 2024 to 25 April 2027. The procurement was evaluated as a services requirement, with participation identified as suitable for SMEs and unsuitable for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from West Sussex County Council for specialist driver licence checking supported by software, procured through a framework call-off. Businesses considering similar work for this buyer would need reliable licence-verification capability, suitable software or an established checking platform, and the operational capacity to provide a consistent service over a multi-year arrangement. A credible competitor would be able to demonstrate experience of checking driving licences accurately, handling relevant personal data securely, maintaining dependable systems and supporting a public-sector customer. The council’s identification of the requirement as suitable for SMEs suggests that a focused specialist provider can compete, without needing the scale of a major generalist technology supplier. Experience in transport, fleet, workforce compliance or driver-risk administration would be directly relevant.
