Summary of the contracting process

The Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) in Swansea, Wales, has completed the procurement process for the provision of Palo Alto Prisma Professional Services, classified under Technical services (CPV code 71356000). Initiated as a tender and awarded through a selective procurement method by calling off from a framework agreement, the contract was awarded on 16th June 2025, and the procurement stage is currently in the award phase. The contract commenced on 30th June 2025 and is set to conclude on 31st December 2025. Unfortunately, this opportunity was not flagged as particularly suitable for SMEs or VCSEs.

This contract, valued at £73,805.73, offers substantial opportunities for technical service providers with experience in specialised IT security solutions. While the award has already been made to CDW Limited, a large-scale enterprise based in Manchester, companies looking to engage in future tenders should possess expertise in delivering high-calibre IT services that align with the regulatory and operational standards of government agencies. Businesses in the IT service industry should prepare for future opportunities by establishing credentials in security architectures similar to Palo Alto networks, as well as strengthening connections with framework agreements the DVLA might utilise.
