## Summary

The Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) is seeking to renew its contract for Out of Band Leased Lines (OOB), a critical IT service supporting network management across its Swansea locations. The contract, valued at £41,250, falls under the IT services industry category (CPV 72000000) and is currently at the Award stage. The tender period closed on 11th May 2020, and the contract is set to commence on 3rd August 2020, running until 2nd May 2025. The procurement method utilised for this contract was a direct single tender action, indicating a streamlined bidding process.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those skilled in consulting, software development, and network support. As the DVLA has previously partnered with BT, companies that can demonstrate robust capabilities in providing leased lines and network solutions may find themselves well-positioned to compete for similar contracts in the future. Such opportunities not only enhance service delivery for public organisations but also offer pathways for growth and expansion for suppliers in the technology services sector.

## Notice

Back in 2017 DVLA appointed BT as the supplier of 3 leased lines which enabled the setup and management of an Out of Band (OOB) Network across DVLA's three main Swansea locations. This connectivity ensured support personnel can monitor and manage all network components independent of the status of the internal network or connectivity. Renewal of the contract for the existing leased lines with BT is required.
