Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "Licences for HR Resources" was led by the Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency, based in Bristol, United Kingdom. This contract falls under the "services" category, specifically focusing on subscription services, as classified by the CPV code 79980000. The procurement was initiated without prior publication, through a framework, qualifying as a limited procurement method. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract signed on 6th June 2025, to supply HR resources licences across the UK. The process concluded with the award of the contract to the supplier, Gartner. Notably, there were options for a 12-month extension within the original procurement lots, although it was subsequently marked as cancelled.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in HR and subscription services, particularly those well-versed with limited procurement methods and framework agreements. Companies capable of providing comprehensive HR resource solutions could benefit from future contracts of this nature. Gartner, a large-scale company, was awarded the contract, illustrating that organisations with extensive experience and capability in delivering HR solutions are positioned favourably to compete in similar procurement processes in the future. Businesses in the technology and consultancy sectors, familiar with public procurement dynamics in the UK, stand to gain from targeting such opportunities for expansion and service diversification.
