## Summary

The Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) in Wales has concluded a selective procurement process to establish a tail spend solution through a digital platform for sourcing low-volume, low-value products. This process involves a call-off from a framework agreement and has now reached the award stage. The awarded contract commenced on 1st November 2025 and will continue until 31st October 2027. The procurement, classified under the CPV code for Catalogues, completed its tender period on 20th August 2025, with the award published on 30th October 2025. The contract was awarded to Unite Procurement UK Limited.

This contract provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in digital purchasing solutions, particularly those capable of managing small, quick-turnaround orders. Large enterprises with established frameworks in place would particularly benefit given the procurement method's preference. As the main procurement category covers services, companies offering digital catalogue solutions stand to gain the most, especially those looking to expand their clientele in the public sector. This contract offers a stable business partnership with the DVLA in Wales over two years, contributing to long-term growth strategies.

## Notice

DVLA require a standalone digital buying platform that provides the ability to source 'tail spend' products. These products are often of low volume and low value which are required to meet a specific one-off need and as such delivered within short timescales.
