Provision of Testing Services

DVLA currently has a contract (PS/15/275) which was awarded via G-Cloud in 2016 for a period of 2 years with a maximum contract value of £4,996,000. This contract was for the Provision of Testing Services. In order to utilise the full contract value and maintain continuity of service, the contract was varied by 12 months. The existing contract expires in April 2019; however, the contract value has been exhausted. The lead officer has put together a business case to support future testing requirements and this approach (including the requirement for this STA) was approved at ET on January 16th 2019. This STA is required to maintain testing service requirements between now and approval of the business case and subsequent procurement of new services.
