UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has completed the procurement process for the "CSL Event," a service-based contract intended to run an insider threat simulation at the Corporate Senior Leader event in Birmingham. The procurement process utilised the limited method, focusing on below-threshold, limited competition, and has reached the award stage. The contract was signed on 30th October 2025, with the contract performance period extending until 31st December 2025. The DVSA, a central government public authority based in Bristol, facilitated this procurement.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in event services, particularly those experienced in organising high-level simulations and events. The service category of this procurement suggests that companies like Polpeo Limited, which successfully secured the award, would benefit from the central government’s focus on enhancing corporate security measures. Businesses of a similar scale and expertise in event services stand to gain from such contracts, promising growth prospects for suppliers capable of delivering specialised event management and threat simulation services.
