## Summary

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) has completed the procurement process for Personalised Registration Auction Services, an initiative within the auction services industry. The contract, valued at £6,950,000, is set to span from 1st April 2020 to 31st March 2023, following a public auction method termed 'open procedure'. The tender period concluded on 2nd January 2020. The DVLA is located in Swansea, UK, with assets being sold primarily through online channels and physical auction events.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses seeking to expand within the auction services sector, particularly those that specialise in vehicle registration auctions. Given the scale of the contract and the ongoing nature of the services required, larger auction companies are well-positioned to compete. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may also find opportunities, particularly through innovative approaches in service delivery aligned with the DVLA's needs.

## Notice

In 1989, DVLA commenced sales of personalised vehicle registration numbers (also known as marks) to capitalise on the motoring public's demand for previously unissued registrations. Sales of these Government assets are regarded as an important source of revenue for the exchequer and to date the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) currently sells registrations through 3 distinct and separate selling routes: Online "Buy Now", Physical Auction and Online Timed Auction. DVLA intends appointing an auction company to act, as its' sole agent to offer for sale by way of public auction, both at physical events and online.
