The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has completed the procurement process for an Information Technology Solution Service under the procurement ID K280021947, classified under the industry category of subscription services (CPV code 79980000). This tender, initiated as a variation to an existing contract on 25th November 2022, entailed adding an additional licence for a subscription-based research services contract.
