Description

2.1 The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency ("DVLA" or the "Authority") is an Executive Agency of the Department for Transport, based in Swansea, employing around 6,500 staff. The Agency's primary aims are to facilitate road safety and general law enforcement by maintaining accurate registers of drivers and vehicle keepers, and to collect Vehicle Excise Duty. 2.2 In March 2005 DVLA entered a 20-year PFI contract with Telereal Trillium (TT) for the refurbishment of the estate and the provision of facilities management ("FM") services. DVLA and TT have agreed that DVLA has the option to de-scope the Soft Services element from the contract from 31st March 2023 (partial Termination). The contract expires on 31st March 2025. 2.3 A FM Futures programme was formed in 2019 within which the PFI Contract Expiry Team has the remit to deliver an effective contract expiry and transition from the current PFI contract. The team comprises DVLA Estates Management, Contract Expiry & Commercial and Project management personnel. A business case was approved by the DVLA Executive team in January 2021 that supported procurement of specialist advice to the programme. 2.4 The PFI contract expiry requires that all assets are returned to DVLA in good condition. The expiry also means that it will be necessary to transition to a different operating model for the delivery of all FM services. It is with both of these challenges that DVLA requires PFI Contract Expiry specialist to provide contract/commercial perspective input to managing I. Supplier compliance to contract expiry II. the scope of assets to be returned and the efficacy of the asset register III. handling of the results of a recent comprehensive asset condition survey IV. a 'survey on expiry' with technical advisers in ensuring that the assets are returned in the requisite condition. 2.5 It is anticipated that project leadership/PFI Contractual expiry advice will be required in relation to all matters relating to the Telereal Trillium PFI contract.
