## Summary

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) procured software-related services for security assessment tooling. The requirement is for 20,100 Tenable One Enterprise licences, supporting the agency’s security assessment and cyber-security activities. Delivery is associated with the DVLA site on Longview Road, Morriston, Swansea, in Wales. The buying organisation is DVLA, which is responsible for driver and vehicle licensing services. The procurement is therefore relevant to software vendors, technology resellers and managed security providers able to supply and support large-scale enterprise security assessment licensing. It is a service requirement rather than a works or physical-goods contract, centred on supplying the specified Tenable One Enterprise product at significant organisational scale.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. DVLA used a selective call-off from a framework agreement, through the Crown Commercial Services framework route. The award was made to Phoenix Software Limited on 13 August 2026 for £947,053.38 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 26 September 2026 to 25 September 2029. The tender submission deadline was 30 July 2026 at 17:00. The award concerns the full requirement for 20,100 Tenable One Enterprise licences. The published evaluation basis is the framework call-off process; the procurement record does not set out separate quality, price or lot-level weightings. The opportunity was not reserved for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers assessing future work with DVLA, this award demonstrates substantial demand for enterprise security assessment licensing delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor would need the ability to supply 20,100 Tenable One Enterprise licences and manage a sizeable public-sector technology requirement. Relevant strengths would include authorised access to the required software, reliable licensing and account management, and the operational capacity to support an organisation-wide deployment. Experience supplying comparable cyber-security or security assessment platforms to large organisations would help demonstrate delivery confidence. Suppliers should also understand framework-based public procurement and be able to meet its call-off requirements, rather than relying solely on general software resale capability.
