Summary of the contracting process

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) based in Swansea (region UKL18) has completed the procurement process for the provision of Sensorium Support and Maintenance services. The contract, identified by PS/24/68, focuses on data network support services within the services industry category. This procurement stage is classified as complete, with the contract awarded on 2nd September 2024. The procurement method was limited and negotiated without publication of a contract notice due to the specific technical expertise required, and the intellectual property rights being owned solely by 2BM Ltd.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses capable of providing specialised maintenance and support services for proprietary software systems. With an emphasis on technical expertise and exclusive intellectual property requirements, businesses possessing unique skills in data network equipment maintenance, particularly those familiar with the Sensorium software package, would be well-suited for such opportunities. Given the significant focus on cost (90%) and social value (10%), companies that can deliver high-quality services efficiently are likely to thrive in such competitive tenders.
