The Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) is conducting an open procurement process for the provision of a venue for its Driving Excellence Awards event. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically related to the supply of rusks, biscuits, preserved pastry goods, and cakes. The venue is required to accommodate up to 500 staff and must include catering services. The deadline for submitting proposals was 10 February 2020, with an award date of 4 February 2020. The contract is set to commence and conclude on 26 June 2020, located in Wales, United Kingdom, with a total contract value of £10,000. 

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses in the events and catering sectors, particularly those offering services for large gatherings.
