Summary of the contracting process

The Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) is conducting a procurement process for the "PS/16/70" tender, which focuses on telephony maintenance services in the telecommunications sector. Situated in Swansea, Wales, the procurement is currently in the Award stage, having been completed on 28 April 2021. The total value of the award is £5,028,000, covering a contract period from 1 June 2021 to 31 May 2022, initiated through a single tender action. The main contact for this tender is Nicola Harper, who can be reached via email or telephone for any inquiries.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in telecommunications, particularly those offering maintenance and support services. Larger firms, such as Virgin Media Business Limited, may find the competitive landscape challenging but worthwhile, given the substantial contract value. Smaller SMEs might not be eligible for this specific tender due to the lack of suitability for smaller enterprises indicated in the documentation. Nevertheless, businesses that can meet the requirements for telephony support and demonstrate significant capabilities in service delivery would be well-suited to explore similar upcoming contracts in this area.
