## Summary

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) is in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "Supplier Day," with the intention of developing a Digital Driving Licence (dDL) solution as per their Strategic Plan 2021-2024. The event will take place at the DVLA's main site in Swansea, Wales, on 20th and 21st June 2022, with a registration deadline set for 6th June 2022. This initiative will potentially lead to the opening of a contract for the development and implementation of dDL services later this year or early 2023, aligning with international standards for mobile driving licences. An engagement end date for interested suppliers has been established for 6th June 2022.

This supplier event presents an opportunity for businesses engaged in software programming and consultancy services to engage with the DVLA, gain insights into the project, and showcase their solutions. Companies that focus on digital technology, driving licence systems, and software development for government services would be particularly well-suited to compete. The DVLA aims to gather valuable market intelligence and innovative ideas to shape the future of the dDL, making this event a significant opportunity for business growth in the public sector.

## Notice

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) is planning to implement a Digital Driving License (dDL) as outlined in the published DVLA Strategic Plan 2021-2024. The intention is to align the solution with the recently published Mobile Driving Licence (mDL) International Standards (ISO- ISO18013-5) This initiative is still in the early stages of analysis and planning; however, we are potentially looking to advertise a contract for the joint development, implementation, and live running of a Digital Driving Licence solution, this year or early 2023. To help to prepare for this procurement we will be hosting a supplier event at DVLA main site in Swansea, on the Monday 20th & Tuesday 21st June 2022. This event will be an opportunity for us to present the DVLA strategy along with the wider business and technical context for the Digital Driving Licence. In response, the DVLA hope to gain valuable market insight and opportunities for addressing some of our key strategic drivers and concerns. Day 1 A presentation to all suppliers, where we will have representatives from various disciplines, to outline how we envisage the dDL working. In addition, we will provide more information and context on the DVLA technical and business systems within which any solution will need to operate. There will be an opportunity for you to ask questions and clarify our intentions with a Q&A after the presentation has finished. This event will run from 10:30am-3pm. Day 2 (Remote) One-to-one sessions (scheduled accordingly in advance) with all suppliers who request to take up this offer, to discuss in more detail specific aspects of each solution and explore opportunities and ideas for providing the optimum solution for our customers, both in the short and longer term. These will be 1 hour virtual sessions booked in advance, once Day 1 attendance is confirmed. If you would like to attend this free event, please can you confirm attendance to paul.discombe@dvla.gov.uk giving the names of the representative/s attending (maximum of 3 attendees per supplier) and your company/business name. An agenda, information pack and definitive times of the supplier day, will be issued to all attendees that confirm by the deadline date. Please Note - only confirmed attendees will be granted access to the event Registration closes on 23:59pm on Monday 6th June 2022 We hope that prospective suppliers will join us and help shape the future of the DVLA Digital Driving Licence. We look forward to hearing from you. Your Sincerely Paul Discombe Commercials Team DVLA IT Technology On behalf of the Secretary of State for Transport
