Companies experienced in digital payments and open banking services would be well-suited to compete. The procurement process, expected to use the Open Banking Dynamic Purchasing System, aims to enhance the DVLA's payment options and improve user experience for over 1.4 million monthly mandates generating around £230 million in payments. Interested parties can engage with the DVLA by registering for the Supplier Day by 24th July 2024. ## Notice This is a Prior Information Notice (PIN) with the purpose of assisting the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) in engaging the market by gathering information or inviting potential bidders to a market engagement event.
