## Summary

The Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) is conducting a procurement process titled "Red Hat" within the IT services industry, specifically focusing on software packages and information systems. The procurement is currently at the award stage, following a selective tender process. The tender had a deadline of 3rd March 2021, with the contract period set to begin on 31st March 2021 and concluding on 30th March 2022. The total value of the awarded contract is £246,692.60.

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those involved in IT services, consulting, and software development. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-positioned to compete, especially those who can provide flexible cloud services and support for Red Hat products. By participating in such tenders, businesses can expand their market presence and build valuable relationships with large public sector clients like the DVLA.

## Notice

The authority currently has a mix of Red Hat Enterprise Linux deployed both on premise and off-premise in multiple clouds. The intention is to create a flexible arrangement such that DVLA can move, at will, to any Certified cloud provider whilst retaining the support relationship with Red Hat.
