UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency procured online training licences for on-demand business training content aligned with its organisational needs. The service is intended to provide intensive, consistent training so that each delegate becomes competent in the subject matter covered by each course. This is a learning and development service rather than the supply of physical goods, construction or general consultancy. The buying organisation is the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency, a central government public authority based in Swansea. The requirement covers access to online training content and licences for delegates, with the supplier responsible for providing the training resource. The awarded service falls within e-learning services, CPV 80420000, and is associated with a single completed requirement.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was conducted as a direct award below the threshold without competition. The contract was signed on 29 July 2026 and runs from 30 July 2026 to 29 July 2027. Its value is £94,952.93 excluding VAT, or £113,943.52 including VAT. The contract is active and was awarded to Udemy Inc for the online training licences. The procurement comprised one completed lot. The published outcome identifies Udemy Inc as the selected supplier; no competitive evaluation criteria or tender scoring basis is stated. This was a below-threshold purchase made directly rather than through an open or selective competition.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the requirement demonstrates demand from a central government agency for licensed access to broad, on-demand online learning rather than bespoke classroom delivery. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a substantial catalogue of business training courses, reliable digital access and licensing arrangements that can support multiple delegates. Content would need to be structured clearly enough for learners to become competent in specific subject areas, while maintaining consistent quality across courses. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that this scale of e-learning service can be delivered by a specialist provider without requiring a large corporate structure. Relevant strengths include catalogue breadth, platform reliability, licence administration and demonstrable training outcomes.
