Summary of the contracting process

The Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) has completed the award stage of a procurement process for the provision of Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) systems under the category of hardware goods. This procurement, which follows a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement, was initiated to secure the supply of UPS systems for use within Wales, United Kingdom. The tender process ended on 10th February 2026, followed by a contract period starting on 26th February 2026 and running until 25th March 2031. The contract, valued at £222,947.28 GBP, reflects the DVLA’s commitment to maintaining reliable power infrastructure critical to its operations.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for companies capable of delivering high-quality hardware solutions. Suppliers in the field of power technology, especially those classified as SMEs or VCSEs, are well-suited to compete for similar opportunities given the increasing demand for robust UPS solutions across public organisations. Computacenter (UK) Limited, a large-scale supplier, successfully secured the contract, highlighting the potential benefits for businesses through strategic engagement with public sector frameworks and building partnerships with large buying organisations like the DVLA. Businesses aiming to enhance their supply capabilities in hardware and power solutions should consider engaging in future tenders within this industry category.
