Summary of the contracting process

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) is undertaking a procurement process for the contract titled "Managed Performance Hub LD8," classified under IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support. This process involves the use of Equinix's data centre services and the Equinix Cloud Exchange (ECX) to connect to leading cloud providers like AWS and Azure. The location of the service delivery is the United Kingdom. The tender is at the award stage, following a procurement method that did not involve prior publication of a call for competition, due to Equinix being the only supplier offering the required service. The final contract was signed on 6 November 2024, with the total contract value amounting to £249,038.82.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those focused on data centre operations and cloud service integrations.

Companies that can meet specialised requirements without prior competition align with this procurement method and can position themselves advantageously for forthcoming contracts with government bodies such as the DVSA.
