The DVLA has been advised on a £450 million contract by Field Fisher Waterhouse LLP. The contract, which will last up to ten years, will allow Post Office Limited to provide tax discs and driving licences at post offices. Post Office Limited was selected as the preferred bidder for the contract after a competitive tendering process. There is already a contract between the Post Office and the DVLA , but it is set to expire in March next year.
Field Fisher Waterhouse Technology & Outsourcing partner Hamish Sandison led on the deal, assisted by Technology and Outsourcing associates Olivia Woolston and Lowri Rees. The firm also provided two seconded paralegals to support the competitive dialogue process at DVLA's HQ in Swansea. The team was assisted by public procurement partner Nick Pimlott, employment law partner Richard Kenyon and pensions law partner David Gallagher to advise on all aspects of the procurement process.
Hamish Sandison said:"We are delighted to have had the opportunity to support DVLA on this strategic deal. This contract enables the public to obtain convenient access to important Government services at post office outlets right across the UK. This deal highlights the firm's expertise in delivering major outsourcing agreements for both public and private sector clients."
