## Summary

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), located in Swansea, UK, is currently in the tender stage for the "Provision of Direct Debit Solution PS/17/187." This procurement is classified under financial consultancy and processing services (CPV code: 66170000), and it seeks to replace the existing Direct Debit service that handles over 12 million mandates annually. The tender period will close on 28 February 2018, with the contract expected to start on 1 October 2018 and run until 30 September 2022. This opportunity follows an open procedure above the threshold, allowing for broad participation from interested suppliers.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in financial consultancy and transaction processing services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the tender is structured to accommodate their involvement.

## Notice

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) provides the motoring public with the option to pay for Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) by Direct Debit. The current service handles over 12 million mandates per year (offering customers the option to pay on a monthly, six-monthly or annual basis). The contractual arrangement will expire on 30 September 2018 so DVLA intends to engage with the supply market to explore options for a replacement solution.
