The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) conducted a procurement process for the provision of ISO Standards for Health & Safety and Sustainability. This initiative aimed at achieving accreditation in ISO Standards 14001 and 45001 through support and potential training services. The procurement, classified under building consultancy services, was conducted as an open competition below threshold, ensuring fair bidding opportunities. The procurement process, completed on 3rd December 2025, began with a tender notice published in August 2025. The contract commenced on 13th November 2025 and is set to run until 3rd November 2028, with an option for renewal. The DVLA, located in Morriston, United Kingdom, serves in the public authority - central government capacity.

Businesses specialising in sustainability and health & safety consultancy are well-positioned to benefit from this tender. The procurement offers growth opportunities for organisations capable of providing ISO certification services and associated training to large public authorities. Small and medium enterprises were encouraged to participate, reflecting the tender's suitability for businesses of varying scales. Successful applicants would be delivering services within the UK, primarily leveraging their expertise in certification and consultancy to meet the DVLA's standards requirements.
