Summary of the contracting process

The DVLA - Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency, located in Swansea, Wales, has conducted a tender for the "Provision of SSL certificates" in the information systems industry. The procurement process, completed on 22nd January 2021, involved issuing a call-off contract for a period of 24 months, starting from 1st February 2021, with the possibility of extension for an additional 12 months. The total value of the contract is £70,000, and the tender ended on 8th January 2021, allowing for the purchase of up to 300 SSL Certificates annually based on demand fluctuations.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in digital certificate services, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can offer competitive pricing and reliable service. As the contract anticipates a year-on-year increase in certificate requirements, firms able to provide a diverse range of SSL/TLS certificates, including End User Customer Certificates and Wildcards, are likely to thrive in this competitive environment.
