## Summary

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), acting as the buyer, has initiated a planned procurement process for the provision of card product management, including consumables and associated services. This procurement focuses on the manufacture and supply of polycarbonate card products such as the United Kingdom Driving Licence and Tachograph Cards. The procurement is categorised under services with industry classification codes related to driving licences and printing services. The process is currently in the planning stage as of 23rd May 2025, with a future notice expected on 1st January 2026. The contract period is set to start on 1st November 2027 and end on 31st October 2032, with a potential extension until 30th October 2034. The entire process is governed by legislative framework 2023/54 under the UK Public Contracts Regulation, and the total value is anticipated to be £55 million, grossing up to £66 million.

This upcoming tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in the production and management of high-quality card products, particularly those specialising in polycarbonate materials for governmental use.

The opportunity is especially suited for organisations within the United Kingdom with existing or developing infrastructure to support large-scale production and compliance with central governmental standards.
