Summary of the contracting process

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency procured a portfolio, programme and project management tool, known as the PPM Tool. It is intended to monitor delivery and report progress to programme and project boards, the Investment Committee and the Executive Committee. The requirement is classified as application software programming services and is delivered across the United Kingdom. The buyer is the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency, a central government public authority. This is a technology and project-governance service for suppliers providing software tools or related application development that support structured oversight, progress reporting and governance of portfolios, programmes and projects.

The procurement has been completed and the contract awarded to WELLINGTONE LIMITED. It used a direct award below the threshold without competition, with one completed lot. The contract was signed on 15 July 2026 and runs from 16 July 2026 to 2 July 2028. Its value is £41,666 excluding VAT, or £49,999.20 including VAT. The buyer holds an option to extend the arrangement by two successive six-month periods, with the maximum stated end date of 2 July 2029. The contract is active and the awarded service covers the PPM Tool requirement. The recorded supplier is Wellingtone Limited.

This procurement indicates demand from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency for software that gives senior governance groups a consolidated view of portfolio, programme and project delivery. Suppliers competing for a future requirement of this kind would need a credible application software capability, with tools that can monitor delivery progress, support consistent reporting and present information to programme and project boards, investment decision-makers and executive management. Relevant strength would include understanding project and portfolio governance, configuring reporting for different oversight levels, and supporting reliable use across a UK public authority. Experience delivering comparable PPM or project-controls platforms would help demonstrate that the supplier can manage structured reporting and operational adoption at this scale.
