Summary of the contracting process

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), part of the Department for Transport, is currently seeking expressions of interest for the provision of Nursery and Daycare Services. This tender falls under the child daycare services industry and is based in Swansea, Wales. The tender period is open until 30 September 2020, and the contract is anticipated to commence on 30 January 2021, lasting for five years with the possibility of a one-year extension. Interested businesses were initially invited to attend a supplier day on 27 April 2020; however, this has now been postponed due to COVID-19. The estimated income for the project is £500,000 per year with further growth potential.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the childcare sector, particularly SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) that can demonstrate capability in managing nursery and play scheme services. Companies that can operate within the stipulated operational requirements set by DVLA and ensure quality service delivery will be well-placed to compete. The nursery facility already holds a BREEAM Excellent status and caters to 121 children, indicating a robust operational framework, thus attracting businesses familiar with similar standards and practices in the childcare industry.
