Payment Terms
Check noticePublished terms
Payment obligations depend on the applicable regime and contract. Consult the official documents.
Coverage: 4 active published awards; 3 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

Procedure rationaleDirect Award via CCS framework RM6116 Lot 1. The reliance on this technology has reduced in recent years but until the remaining Densewave circuits and storage is migrated on to the new technical solution, continuation of this contract is required. DVLA knows the strategic solution and has the infrastructure in place but requires time to be able to carry out the migration. Moving this service to another supplier isn't feasible.
