Provision of Vehicle Excise Duty Enforcement Services

This Prior Information Notice (PIN) is to notify the market that the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) intends to tender for the Provision of Vehicle Excise Duty Enforcement Services. The requirement includes the ability of a supplier to provide:

• Immobilisation,
• Removal,
• Storage,
• Disposal,
• Enforcement Notice Issuing Services and;
• Provision of Automatic Number Plate Recognition Services.

DVLA will be conducting a retender process in early 2024 to select a supplier(s) to provide

• Vehicle Immobilisation,
• Removal,
• Storage,
• Disposal,
• Enforcement Notice Issuing Services and;
• Provision of Automatic Number Plate Recognition Services.

DVLA is tendering for two potentially separate provisions.

The first is a service for Immobilisation, Removal, Storage, and Disposal of vehicles and Enforcement Notice Issuing.

The second is a service for non-compliant vehicle detection and reporting via ANPR technology.

Both services are required for a sustainable UK wide geographical coverage and to manage significant volumes of transactions for the DVLA.

The current volume of actions per year are as follows:

• 118,500 immobilisation actions;
• 62,000 warning notices;
• 144,000 ANPR actionable images

Suppliers must have the ability to scale up and down to meet DVLA business needs.

DVLA would like to hold a Market Engagement event on 14th December 2023, which will explain the requirement further and explore new/innovative solutions for immobilisation, ANPR provision and all associated administrative services with interested parties.

The Market Engagement Day will be held at DVLA’s Innovation facility and will be a purely in person event. DVLA’s Innovation facility is located at:
