DVLA intends to undertake a procurement for the Provision of Soft Facilities Management Services, which includes Cleaning, Catering, Waste and Pest Control, across the DVLA's Swansea estate. The anticipated scope includes cleaning, catering, waste management and pest control services. DVLA is currently considering the most appropriate commercial and delivery model, including whether the services should be procured as a bundled requirement or divided into separate service areas or lots.

Procurement Act 2023

DVLA is undertaking preliminary market engagement in preparation for a future procurement for Soft Facilities Management Services across its Swansea estate. The engagement will assist DVLA in understanding market capability, capacity, innovation opportunities, potential delivery models, and approaches to contract bundling. Feedback received may be used to inform the commercial strategy, procurement approach and future tender documentation. The engagement process may include Requests for Information (RFIs), supplier questionnaires, virtual meetings, one-to-one discussions and site visits. Interested suppliers are invited to register by emailing [email protected] by 23rd October 2026, providing their organisation name, contact details and areas of interest. Information gathered through this process will be used solely to inform DVLA's procurement strategy and future requirements. Participation in this engagement will not provide any advantage or disadvantage in any future procurement. DVLA welcomes engagement from suppliers of all sizes, including SMEs. The authority is interested in understanding how SMEs may participate either directly, as part of a consortium, or through subcontracting arrangements. The final contract structure and strategy have not yet been determined.
