Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) has awarded a contract for the provision of barrister services, classified under legal services, with a total value of £62,500. The procurement process involved a direct method with a single tender action that took place from February 7, 2019, to November 7, 2019, following the conclusion of the tender period on February 1, 2019. The contract serves to ensure the continuity of legal representation for the DVLA's Drivers Medical Group during appeal hearings while they prepare for a more comprehensive procurement process.

This tender presents a promising opportunity for law firms, particularly those specialising in legal representation and advocacy, to engage with a key government body. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the legal sector could particularly benefit, as they may offer competitive and tailored services fitting the DVLA's needs. Firms should consider this as a chance to demonstrate their expertise and expand their engagements within the public sector, potentially leading to future contracts as the DVLA expands its requirements.
