Legal Justification

Due to the increased risk exposure resulting from the failure of the existing TX transformer configuration at DVLA, urgent action is required. Procuring a replacement transformer will address this risk by reinstating the resilience provided by a dual‑transformer arrangement, ensuring that operational continuity and site-wide electrical resilience are fully restored.
