## Summary

The Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) has completed the procurement process for an "IT Security Healthcheck Procurement," aimed at evaluating digital services in the cloud and older legacy systems. This tender falls under the IT services category and had a total contract value of £450,000, with a minimum value of £250,000. The open procurement method was employed, allowing interested parties to submit their proposals. The tender period closed on 10th September 2015, while the contract period ran from 24th September 2015 to 23rd September 2016, with the award being made on 4th September 2015.

This procurement process provides a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in IT security and digital service assurance, particularly for those offering consultation and software development services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete, given the DVLA's preference for such companies. With the increasing focus on cybersecurity, businesses capable of delivering thorough IT healthchecks may find valuable prospects to engage with the public sector. Suppliers with a solid track record in security assessments and a strong understanding of both cloud and legacy systems should consider positioning themselves for future tenders of this nature.
