Summary of the contracting process

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has completed a tender process titled "OTC Digital Brief" for the procurement of Specialist Software as a Service (SaaS) product, specifically designed for legal document bundling. This procurement sought a software solution suitable for evidence and legal case management or regulatory environments, classified under the industry category of "Software package and information systems" (CPV code: 48000000). The award was made on 7th July 2023, and the process followed a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition, justified as outside the directive’s scope. The procurement process was conducted under the CCS framework – GCloud, and the entire procurement cycle is now marked as complete. The location for the delivery of these services is within the United Kingdom.

This awarded tender provides an excellent opportunity for businesses capable of delivering specialised software solutions and services, particularly those already aligned with governmental regulatory and legal environments. The contract, valued at £416,400, was ultimately awarded to THOMSON REUTERS (PROFESSIONAL) UK LIMITED, indicating a preference for providers with established expertise and reliability in the legal software domain. Companies involved in developing sophisticated SaaS platforms, especially tailored for legal and regulatory frameworks, could find similar opportunities in future tenders from national agencies like DVSA, potentially leading to significant business growth and enhanced market presence.
