Could you supply in-person services on behalf of DVLA?
DVLA is conducting early market engagement for a potential future opportunity under contract to supply in-person services to our customers.
We maintain the records of more than 50 million drivers and 40 million vehicles. We also collect more than £7 billion a year in vehicle tax and process over 77 million transactions. Most are digital, but we also offer an in-person option for our customers.
We would like to hear from third-party providers who are interested in providing DVLA’s in-person services.
Who we’re looking for
We’re looking for third-party suppliers who can offer:
- the ability for DVLA customers to transact in-person (for example, vehicle keepers and driving licence holders)
- widespread coverage across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland
- wide ranging opening hours to cater for a diverse range of customers
- a commercial contract lasting a number of years
Suppliers must also be able to:
- allow customers to carry out a variety of DVLA vehicle and driver transactions in-person (including vehicle tax and driving licence renewal)
- enable access to DVLA application forms
- accept a variety of payment methods
- complete transactional and payment reconciliation, report routinely on transactional and financial data
- verify customer identity, including checking physical documentation
- exchange data securely with DVLA’s systems to support customer transactions
- return customer documents to DVLA
Opportunities to modernise services
To harness this opportunity to inspire market thinking and innovation, we are open to exploring:
- a range of delivery models
- modern integration methods to DVLA services
- ways to reduce postage in delivering the services
- ways to increase customer take-up of digital services through the use of digitally assisted services
- a range of funding models for the services
