Summary of the contracting process

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), a central government public authority in the UK, has completed the procurement process for a tender titled "Provision of Recruitment Panel Member Training". This procurement falls under the services category, specifically training services. The DVLA required bespoke training to enhance their staff's capabilities in sifting and interviewing, under the Civil Service Success Profiles Framework. Situated in Swansea, UK, the contract was awarded on 30th June 2026 and will start on 1st July 2026, spanning one year with possible extension options.
