Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Provision of OpenText Enterprise & RightFax Gateway Software S&M - PS/25/77" has been completed by the Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) located in Swansea, Wales. This tender, classified under software-related services (CPV code 72260000), involved a selective procurement method executed via a framework agreement.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses that specialise in software support and maintenance services, particularly those with capabilities in managing enterprise software and fax gateway systems. While the procurement was selective and involved a call-off from an existing framework, indicating a preference for larger organisations, SMEs with niche expertise in the relevant technology stack might also find collaborative opportunities. Firms looking to expand their presence within Wales, or those already established in the region, would be well-suited to engage with such projects, enhancing growth through public sector engagements.
