## Summary

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has completed a procurement process for IT services, specifically Microsoft Unified Support, under the industry category of IT services: consulting, software development, Internet, and support. This contract, valued at £310,559, was awarded through a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. The process fell outside the standard scope of application of procurement directives and was directly awarded to Microsoft Limited, the sole provider. The contract was signed on the 11th of April, 2025, and the procurement activity mainly covered services in the UK, reflecting the completion of the award stage.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses offering similar specialised IT services. While this specific tender was awarded directly to a large-scale company like Microsoft Limited, companies in the IT consulting sector, particularly those with capabilities in software development and enterprise support, should consider positioning themselves for future tenders. Understanding such procurement processes and demonstrating unique value propositions may help smaller or medium-sized enterprises gain similar opportunities under different competitive procurement conditions.
