## Summary

The public procurement process for "Software Licences and Maintenance Support 2024" was conducted by the Department for Transport, acting as the buyer, with the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) involved as the supplier. This procurement focused on IT software packages, particularly aimed at sourcing both Microsoft and non-Microsoft software licences. The award process, completed on 1st May 2025, used a limited procurement method, in which a call off from a CCS Framework was executed without prior publication of a call for competition. This tender, valued at £38,000,000, is classified under the goods category in the UK region, and the contract was signed on 3rd February 2025.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in the IT software industry, specifically those specialising in value-added reseller services. As the procurement targeted both general and specialised software solutions, businesses with expertise in providing comprehensive software supply and support services could greatly benefit. Large enterprises, particularly those able to manage government contracts, will find this tender opportunity particularly appealing, given its scale and the specified framework agreement approach. Additionally, firms proficient in sourcing and managing Microsoft-related software alongside diverse non-Microsoft software packages could leverage this procurement to establish significant growth within the public sector.
