## Summary

The Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) in Swansea, Wales, has completed a tender process for the provision of AWS Exam Vouchers, with two contracts awarded to Global Knowledge Network Ltd. The tender initiated in February 2020 and included a total of 58 additional vouchers as a variation to the original contract, with the contract period extending until February 2023. The procurement was undertaken as a direct single tender action, and the total value of the contracts amounted to £32,485 for the variations, and £23,190 for the initial purchase of exam vouchers. The award notice for the variation contract was published on 27 April 2022.

This procurement presents excellent opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in educational training services or exam preparation. SMEs engaged in AWS training or related services would be well-suited to compete, taking advantage of their expertise and agility in providing training solutions. With the increasing demand for cloud certification and training, businesses that can offer tailored training programmes or resit exam services may find significant growth potential in response to this contract.

## Notice

This requirement is for the variation of the purchase of an additional 58 vouchers for examinations in various subjects/levels of AWS training, along with the provision to purchase any additional exams that may be needed for resit purposes.
