Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport is seeking to extend the contract for the provision of personalised registration auction services, previously due to expire on 30th September 2024. The extension, which will now prolong the contract by up to 12 months (9+3 months), is intended to ensure continuity of service while a new procurement process is underway. The services fall under the "Electronic auction services" category (CPV code: 79342410) and will be provided nationwide across the UK. The current procurement stage is in the Award phase with the contract set to commence on 1st October 2024 and conclude on 30th September 2025. The primary supplier for this project is British Car Auctions Ltd.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in electronic auction services, especially those capable of handling large-scale operations. Companies with robust IT infrastructure, expertise in auction platforms, and experience within the automotive sector will find this tender particularly beneficial. The contract extension allows ample time for businesses to showcase their capabilities while potentially transitioning to a future long-term agreement. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with innovative auction solutions should also consider this opportunity to enter the public sector market, provided they can meet the stringent requirements set by the Department for Transport and ensure seamless service continuity.

The extension period is for up to 12 months, to accommodate the re-procurement process whilst still preserving 6 months post-contract-award for implementation and testing, and transition in the event of a change of supplier. This additional 12 months is comprised of an initial 9-month commitment (extending the expiry date now by 9 months from 30/09/2024 to 30/06/2025), with the option to extend by a further 3 months (which would extend the expiry date to 30/09/2025).",

DVLA has extended the current contract. DVLA published a VEAT notice (reference number - 2024/S 000-020383) to notify the market of this extension and waited at least 10 days beginning with the day after the publication date of the VEAT Notice before awarding the extension. Continued customer interest is vital to the requirement so, to secure continuity while a new procurement is carried out, it is deemed appropriate that the current supplier continues to provide the service."
