Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the provision of Scanner Support and Maintenance is being conducted by the Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) located in Swansea, UK. This service falls under the CPV classification for scanning services and is currently at the award stage. The contract, valued at £168,481.41, was signed on 6 June 2022, following a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The procurement aims to ensure the continuity of support and maintenance for the agency's existing BancTec scanning equipment.

This tender presents a unique opportunity for businesses specialising in scanning services and related support and maintenance. Given the limited market provider—Exela Technologies Limited, formerly BancTec—companies with expertise in older scanning technology and those capable of sourcing hard-to-find parts will be well-equipped to compete. This contract may also benefit larger firms that can ensure a reliable provision of services as the agency transitions towards more modern digital solutions.

Notice Title

Provision of Scanner Support and Maintenance

Notice Description

The business objective of this procurement is to provide support and maintenance of the Agency's existing BancTec scanning equipment. Given the delay in the delivery of transformation projects to create a digital organisation support and maintenance continuity is required whilst DVLA drive forward their new requirements.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The business objective of this procurement is to provide support and maintenance of the Agency's existing BancTec scanning equipment.

Options: Option to extend by a further 12 months on a 6 monthly basis following expiry of the initial term.

Procurement Information

We are looking to extend this contract under 32 (2) (b) (ii) of PCR15. Excela were formally known as BancTec and therefore are the only supplier on the market that can provide the S&M for the machinery owned by the Agency. Given the delay in the delivery of transformation projects to create a digital organisation, and the age of the machinery, it's likely the supplier will only be able to provide the service on a best endeavours basis as sourcing parts is becoming difficult as there are very few decommissioned machines left and these parts are no longer manufactured.
