Summary of the contracting process

The Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency, a public organisation based in Bristol, United Kingdom, has completed a procurement process for a subscription-based research services contract titled "Information Technology Solution Service 2025-26." This contract, identified as K280022601, falls under the services category of the Common Procurement Vocabulary (CPV) code 79980000—Subscription services. The procurement was conducted through a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition, due to falling outside the directive's scope. The contract was awarded on 21 November 2025 to Gartner Uk Ltd, a large-scale supplier located in Egham, UK. The procurement was initiated on 24 November 2025, with an award value of £432,000.

This tender presents business growth opportunities for companies specialising in subscription-based IT solutions and research services. As a contract awarded without the usual competitive procedure, future tenders in this area might offer opportunities for businesses to engage if the procurement method changes. Companies targeting public sector work, particularly in technology and research, would find prospects by aligning with public organisations like the Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency. Large enterprises with the capability to fulfil framework agreements could be well-positioned to compete in such procurement processes in the future.
