## Summary

The Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) has initiated a procurement process for the "Provision of Test Automation Services". This project falls under the IT services category and will take place in Swansea, Wales. The procurement method is selective, executed as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period concluded on 14 May 2019, and the contract duration is set from 4 June 2019 to 3 December 2019. The award of the contract was officially published on 20 June 2019.

This tender presents opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in IT services, particularly those experienced in software development and automation testing. Businesses that can align with DVLA's existing frameworks and toolsets will be well-positioned to compete. Engaging in this contract allows vendors to not only contribute to DVLA's ongoing projects but also cultivate long-term partnerships in the public sector, potentially leading to further contracts and business growth.

## Notice

DVLA is seeking a test automation service to provide test scripts to be integrated with their evolving CI/CD process; to allow regression tests to be executed on every release. A test automation approach already exists and suppliers will need to adhere to DVLA's framework and toolset choice as ongoing support and maintenance of any scripts developed by the supplier will fall to the in-house test team.
