## Summary

Wolverhampton City Council, acting as the buyer, is in the planning stage for a public procurement process titled "DVLA Enforcement". This contract, set within the services category, seeks to implement devolved DVLA Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) enforcement powers to tackle untaxed vehicles using advanced technologies such as ANPR and DVLA data. The enforcement services include vehicle immobilisation, removal, and management. The pre-market engagement phase is currently active, with a due date for supplier responses by 17th February 2026. The contract period is anticipated to start on 1st September 2026 and conclude on 31st August 2028, located in the Wolverhampton region (UKG39).

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in repair and maintenance services, waste analysis, and car park management. Companies capable of providing a fully outsourced enforcement service, including call handling and vehicle management, will find this tender particularly conducive to business growth. The suitability of this tender to SMEs and VCSEs indicates that smaller entities and social enterprises can effectively compete, offering them a substantial opportunity to expand their operations by providing innovative and efficient enforcement solutions in public safety and compliance sectors.

## Notice

City of Wolverhampton Council is exploring the adoption of devolved DVLA Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) enforcement powers, enabling it to directly identify, immobilise, remove, and manage untaxed vehicles using ANPR and DVLA data, and is conducting a Preliminary Market Engagement to assess supplier capability to deliver a fully outsourced end-to-end enforcement service-including call handling, vehicle lifting, impounding, and customer fee processing-in order to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour, improve public safety, and recover public revenue lost through VED evasion.
