## Summary

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), located in Swansea, UK, is seeking to appoint an auction company through an open tender process for its "Personalised Registration Auction Services." This procurement falls under the services category, specifically in auction services, and the tender period will close on 12 August 2019. The contract is anticipated to commence on 1 April 2020 and will last until 31 March 2023.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in auction services to expand their operations, particularly those capable of managing both physical and online auction events. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given the DVLA's intent to engage a sole agent for these services. Companies with experience in managing government contracts, digital platforms, or live auction formats would be particularly well-suited to compete for this engagement.

## Notice

In 1989, DVLA commenced sales of personalised vehicle registration numbers (also known as marks) to capitalise on the motoring public's demand for previously unissued registrations. Sales of these Government assets are regarded as an important source of revenue for the exchequer and to date the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) currently sells registrations through 3 distinct and separate selling routes: Online "Buy Now", Physical Auction and Online Timed Auction. DVLA intends appointing an auction company to act, as its' sole agent to offer for sale by way of public auction, both at physical events and online.
