The contract period for the successful bidder will commence on 1st August 2019 and is set to last until 31st August 2022.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in courier services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that offer secure transport solutions. Companies capable of handling bulk movements of cheques and postal orders could greatly benefit from this contract. The nature of the service required suggests that businesses with experience in financial document handling and secure logistics will stand out as ideal competitors in this procurement process.

Following a Government Banking Procurement exercise awarded in 2014, Barclays Bank PLC were appointed the banking provider for DVLA on 24 March 2015. DVLA require a next day secure cheque courier to collect cheques and postal orders twice a week and transport them securely to a designated cheque processing hub. This does not have to be a dedicated service, DVLA cheques and postal orders can be part of a secure bulk movement with other companies' Cheques/Postal orders.
