## Summary

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) procured secure Public Services Network connectivity into Amazon Web Services (AWS). The connectivity supports key DVSA systems running in AWS, including TARS and MOT. This is an information technology and network services requirement, covering network connectivity, related IT support and associated services. The work is for DVSA’s operational systems and is associated with the agency’s Bristol-based public authority. The requirement was arranged as a single procurement lot. It would suit suppliers that provide secure public-sector network connectivity and can support cloud environments used for important government systems, particularly where reliable access between the Public Services Network and AWS is required.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. DVSA used a below-threshold limited competition. Cloud Gateway Limited was awarded the single lot on 13 August 2026 for £24,499.14 excluding VAT, or £29,398.97 including VAT. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026 and runs from 13 August 2026 to 12 August 2028, with one 12-month extension option allowing a maximum end date of 12 August 2029. The award is for services covering secure PSN connectivity into AWS and related network and IT support. The contract is active. The procurement was evaluated through the limited competition route, with the requirement treated as below threshold.

This award shows established demand from DVSA for secure connectivity between the Public Services Network and AWS, supporting systems that are important to vehicle testing and related agency operations. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable capability in secure network design and operation, PSN connectivity, AWS connectivity and the provision of dependable IT support. Experience of maintaining links used by operational government systems would be commercially relevant, as would the capacity to manage service continuity, security and technical support throughout a multi-year arrangement. Suppliers with a focused public-sector connectivity proposition, cloud networking expertise and the operational resources to support DVSA systems would be best placed to compete when this requirement returns to market.
