Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process led by the Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) has concluded with the award of a contract for the provision of a digital communications email subscriber solution. The procurement falls within the software package and information systems industry category, specifically targeting IT services, and is located in Wales, United Kingdom. The tender was initiated through a selective procurement method via a framework agreement managed by Crown Commercial Services, with the procurement stage currently at the award phase. Key dates include the tender period ending on 7 May 2025 and the contract commencing on 14 July 2025, running until 13 July 2027. The awarded contract, valued at £90,750, reflects transparency with a published notice dated 4 June 2025.

This tender presents notable opportunities for businesses, particularly those experienced in delivering software solutions and digital communication services, to engage with a high-profile government agency like the DVLA. Although SMEs and VCSEs may find this opportunity less aligned given its scale and specific procurement method, larger businesses specialising in information systems and software packages could benefit substantially from the recurring nature of such services over a two-year contract period. The selective approach invites competitive responses from those within existing frameworks, fostering focused business growth for entities equipped to meet the strategic digital needs of public sector organisations.
