## Summary

The procurement process initiated by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) is now in its Contract stage, having awarded a contract for the "CRN/25/18 - Provision of Out Of Band Leased Lines" to BT. This procurement falls under the services category and involves the setup and management of an Out of Band (OOB) Network through four leased lines across DVLA's locations. The direct procurement method was utilised, proceeding without competition as it was below the threshold. The contract commenced on 23rd September 2025 and will conclude on 22nd September 2028, with a total contract value of £40,672.8. The DVLA, a central government public authority, is based in Morriston, UK, and operates coordinated from its contact base in the UK region UKL18. The project uses legislation under UKPGA 2023/54.

This tender presents potential growth opportunities for businesses specialising in telecommunications services, particularly those with capabilities in establishing and maintaining leased lines and OOB network setups. Although the contract has been awarded to BT, a large enterprise headquartered in Birmingham, similar businesses in the telecommunications and IT services industry could benefit from familiarising themselves with the types of services required by large public authorities like the DVLA. Understanding such procurement needs can help businesses in planning their capabilities and offerings to better compete in future tenders, particularly those that may benefit from direct procurement methods for below-threshold requirements.
