Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if his Department will extend the DVLA core counter service framework with Post Office Ltd to November 2022.

The DVLA contract was novated to the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) in December 2018 and the current contract expires in March 2020. CCS is currently engaging with stakeholders to ascertain whether the uptake of the extension option is the best commercial decision for Government. The final decision will be taken later this year.
