## Summary

The Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) conducted a procurement process titled "Provision of Residual Lines and Audio Conferencing" under the CPV classification of Wireless Telecommunications System. The contract, valued at £50,670.11, aims to renew services for residual telephone lines and audio-conferencing, with a contract period spanning from 1st December 2021 to 30th November 2023. The procurement was initiated through a direct procurement method, specifically a single tender action below threshold, with the award announced on 30th November 2021, and published on 23rd December 2021. Services are primarily required at three main sites in Swansea, with additional support for home workers across the UK.
