Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) procured cloud hosting and software support services under its One Government Value Agreement memorandum of understanding. The requirement covers IT services including cloud hosting, software support, consulting, software development and internet-related support. Delivery may be required across the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is a public-sector technology services requirement for an organisation based in Bristol. It is relevant to established providers able to support government cloud environments and associated software services across a broad geographical footprint, rather than suppliers focused solely on local delivery or discrete small-scale consultancy assignments.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Amazon Web Services on 1 February 2024. The award value is £8,960,000, within an estimated procurement range of £6,000,000 to £8,960,000. The contract runs from 1 February 2024 to 31 January 2027. DVSA used a direct procurement route described as a single tender action below the threshold, rather than an open competition. The requirement was treated as a services contract and was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The outcome provides a clear reference point for the scale and route used by DVSA when purchasing cloud hosting and software support services.

This award indicates demand for a substantial, integrated technology service covering cloud hosting, software support, software development, consulting and internet support. A credible future competitor would need strong cloud-platform capability, reliable software support operations and the capacity to deliver and maintain services across the UK and international locations. Experience supporting a public-sector customer would help demonstrate the governance, service management, security and continuity expected for agency technology environments, although those specific requirements are not stated here. The selected supplier was a large organisation, and the procurement was not marked as suitable for SMEs, indicating that scale, operational resilience and the ability to manage a broad service scope are important commercial considerations for suppliers tracking this buyer’s requirements.
