## Summary

The DVLA - Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency, located in Swansea, Wales, has conducted a tender for the "Provision of SSL certificates" in the information systems industry. The procurement process, completed on 22nd January 2021, involved issuing a call-off contract for a period of 24 months, starting from 1st February 2021, with the possibility of extension for an additional 12 months. The total value of the contract is £70,000, and the tender ended on 8th January 2021, allowing for the purchase of up to 300 SSL Certificates annually based on demand fluctuations.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in digital certificate services, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can offer competitive pricing and reliable service. As the contract anticipates a year-on-year increase in certificate requirements, firms able to provide a diverse range of SSL/TLS certificates, including End User Customer Certificates and Wildcards, are likely to thrive in this competitive environment. Businesses suited to compete in this tender should focus on innovation and scalability to meet the evolving needs of the DVLA.

## Notice

A contract for provision of SSL certificates is required for a term of 24 months with the option to extend for an additional 12 months, commencing 1st February 2021. The Authority currently manage up to 200 valid SSL/TLS Certificates (these contain a mixture of End User Customer Certificates, SSL/TLS Wildcards, Extended Validation, Business Multi Domain, SHA1 / SHA2's, plus FQDN Domains). Over the period of the contract we anticipate this figure will grow year on year and we are looking to purchase up to 300 SSL Certificates each year, however this will depend on external factors and could fluctuate up or down. The call-off contract provides a method for the Authority to purchase the required Certificates and Domains without any obligation to buy a set amount
