## Summary

The Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) has completed the procurement process for the "Provision of Test Services for 3D Secure." This contract falls under the IT services sector, specifically relating to consulting and software development. The procurement method employed was a direct single tender action due to its value of £443,925, which is below threshold, and was aimed at addressing specific 3D Secure authentication needs for online payments. The contract period commenced on 23rd April 2019 and concludes on 1st November 2019, with award notifications published on 30th September 2019.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those with expertise in payment systems, software development, and IT consulting, to partner in future projects with the DVLA. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this a suitable avenue to showcase their capabilities, especially those familiar with Web Logic and payment service integration, enhancing their visibility and potentially leading to further contracts within the public sector.

## Notice

3D Secure authentication is a banking industry security protocol developed for online credit and debit card payments. Most of DVLA's online services support version 1 of the 3D secure protocol. Payments are channelled through DVLA's Payment Broker and payments are taken via a third party Payment Service Provider (PSP). Zeefix has an exceptionally high understanding of Web Logic, Payment Broker, DVLA's Business Systems (DLO/EVL/OEPP) and their integration with Smart PayS, Barclays Payment Service are skills required to deliver the 3DS test requirements. It is unlikely DVLA could secure the required skill set with a procurement exercise via the appropriate Government Framework. In addition, the timescales for running a procurement exercise would be prohibitive to the delivery of the 3DS requirements.
