## Summary

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) bought mobile device connectivity services, a telecommunications service, for its operations. The requirement concerns providing connectivity for mobile devices; the procurement lists delivery in Swansea, Wales. The buyer is the DVLA, based in Swansea. The service category is telecommunications (CPV 64200000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Vodafone Ltd. The award was made on 6 October 2026, with a contract period from 26 October 2026 to 25 October 2031. The awarded value is £51,375. The DVLA used a selective process as a call-off from a framework agreement. The stated submission deadline was 14 September 2026. The procurement was classified as a service, and small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to participate. The available data does not set out evaluation criteria beyond the framework call-off route.

This award shows that the DVLA buys mobile device connectivity through call-offs from a framework agreement, and that a large telecommunications supplier, Vodafone Ltd, was selected. A credible competitor for a future requirement from this buyer would need to deliver mobile connectivity services at a scale suitable for DVLA operations, with the capability to support devices used in Swansea. Smaller businesses were explicitly considered suitable, so the award does not establish that only large suppliers can compete. Suppliers should be positioned to meet the buyer’s connectivity requirement through an applicable framework route. The contract period provides a useful indication of the length of service arrangement the DVLA has used for this requirement.
