This contract, estimated to be awarded for a period of five years, will encompass the periodic valeting of approximately 20 vehicles at their Swansea location, requiring services such as professional cleaning with anti-bacterial finishes. Interested suppliers are expected to comply with DVLA's Modern Slavery Policy, and the application process will be detailed on Contracts Finder, likely commencing in early February 2021. A significant deadline for supplier engagement is set for January 15, 2021, at 15:00. This tender presents a lucrative opportunity particularly for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in cleaning services and are located near Swansea. Suppliers capable of demonstrating adherence to modern ethical standards will find themselves well-placed to compete for this business. The contract will require bidders to deliver consistent quality service over several years, potentially leading to a stable source of revenue and increased visibility in the public sector market. ## Notice An opportunity is due to come to market in the near future for the valeting of DVLA's Vehicle Fleet. This will likely be a 5 year contract and awarded following an open-competition of all interested suppliers. There are currently 20 vehicles including cars, vans and minibuses used for DVLA operational activities. These require professional valeting (including an anti-bacterial finish) on a periodic basis. It is estimated that this would amount to 5 times per year, per vehicle, this is subject to change. The suppliers, will expect to adhere to (and provide evidence to this affect) DVLA's Modern Slavery Policy and would expect to be located in an appropriate location to easily facilitate the service at the Swansea site. All queries including whether you would like to bid should be addressed to andrew.williams@dvla.gov.uk. Information about how to apply will be published via Contracts Finder (likely to be early February 2021). ***IMPORTANT UPDATE*** If you are interested in submitting a bid for this future opportunity, please can you let the above contact know by the Friday January 15th at 15:00.
