## Summary

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) in the United Kingdom has completed the contracting process for a "Utility Bureau Service" aimed at providing invoice validation for its utility bills. The awarded contract, under the industry category of government services (CPV: 75131000), follows a selective procurement method with a call-off from a framework agreement. The tendering period concluded on 5th April 2024, with the contract award being active from 3rd July 2024, and the contract period spans from 1st July 2024 to 2nd July 2027. The DVSA, located in Bristol, served as the buying organisation, and the contract will cover various geography, including the British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, and other regions worldwide.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for established large-scale companies that specialise in utility bureau services and invoice validation. Given the selective procurement method, businesses already part of the framework agreements had a competitive edge. Companies looking to engage with government services, especially those with capabilities to operate across multiple international regions, would find participating in such tenders advantageous for expanding their service portfolios and client base. The awarded supplier, ENTEL Consulting Group Limited, exemplifies the type of business suited for this opportunity, showcasing its capability to deliver to the stated geographical areas.
