The nursery will be primarily for the use of staff employed at DVLA and the service provider can use the remaining childcare spaces available for non-DVLA parents. The purpose of this Prior Information Notice (PIN) is to forewarn interested service providers of this requirement and highlight that DVLA plan to hold a Supplier Day for the purpose of premarket engagement and to enable DVLA to describe and develop the proposed requirements.
