Initially, £300 million was put forward as the maximum value of procurement, to run the service from September 2028 to September 2033, with a possible one-year extension. The Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency later published two more notices, both putting the same price tag on the work, but to run the service for a maximum of seven years. In the most recent notice published last week, the maximum value went up to £700 million - excluding tax - for a maximum of nine years from September 2028 until September 2037.
