Summary of the contracting process

The Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) is conducting a procurement process for the provision of legal services related to drivers' medical driving appeals. This tender, identified as PS/21/109, is classified under the legal services category (CPV code 79100000) and is based in the UK. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender period has a submission deadline of 4 April 2022, with the bid validity concluding on 2 June 2022. The project entails handling approximately 450 to 600 appeals annually concerning medical decisions that affect drivers' licences.

This opportunity offers significant potential for Chambers employing Barristers and Solicitor Firms specialising in public service law and medical appeals. As the number of appeal cases is anticipated to increase, firms that possess experience in litigation and advocacy before magistrates are especially well-suited to compete. By engaging with this tender, these businesses could secure a valuable contract with the DVLA and expand their service portfolio within the niche of drivers' medical legal representation.
