## Summary

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) has completed a procurement process for the provision of accessibility auditing and testing services for its digital offerings. This tender, classified under the auditing services industry (CPV code 79212000), is vital for ensuring compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.2) and the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018. Situated in Swansea, Wales, the buyer has engaged a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement. Initiated on 5th February 2026, the award was made public on 25th February 2026, with the contract period spanning from the 15th of February 2026 to the 14th of February 2028.

This tender provides significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to collaborate with DVLA on enhancing digital accessibility, facilitating business growth in the technology and compliance sectors. Firms that specialise in digital accessibility, compliance auditing, or assistive technology are particularly well-suited for similar tenders, given the legislative requirements and ongoing updates in accessibility standards. By engaging in these contracts, businesses can establish strong footholds in public sector digital services while contributing to critical accessibility improvements.

## Notice

With a focus now on accessibility, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) are looking to put a contract in place to ensure that our Digital Services work for everyone, including users with disabilities, specific needs and those who require assistive technology. It is a legislative requirement, that all our online services need to be compliant with level AA of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.2), in line with The Public Sector Bodies Part 2 (Websites and Mobile Applications) of the Accessibility Regulations 2018. The supplier will need to factor in any future updates and changes applicable to the guidance and regulations. DVLA needs to demonstrate that we have tested our services with all customers regardless of ability. This continues to be a mandatory requirement of the Government Digital Service (GDS) Standard Assessments, where any issues are resolved before the online service is moved into public beta.
