## Summary

The contract for "IT Linux Based Online Training" has been awarded by the DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency), located in Swansea, Wales.

This training initiative presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in educational services, particularly those specialising in IT and online learning platforms. Companies that provide comprehensive training resources, access to hands-on labs, or have the capabilities to offer extensive content on Linux, AWS, DevOps, and related technologies would be well-suited to compete. As the DVLA aims to educate a substantial number of its IT staff, this sets the stage for suppliers who can deliver robust training solutions that cater to large educational needs.

## Notice

In line with the ITS reorganisation DVLA have given a commitment to staff that training facilities will be made available. The department now requires a training program to educate 150 DVLA IT staff requiring access to a library of content with 2,500+ videos (500+ hours) covering Linux, AWS, OpenStack, DevOps, Azure and BigData. DVLA also requires access to six (6) lab servers to allow for hands-on, scenario based labs in a real environment and access to iOS and Android apps which can be used to download content for learning on the go.
