Summary of the contracting process

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), based in Bristol, procured impounding, vehicle immobilisation and associated services. The requirement covers transport-related services, including the handling and control of vehicles that have been impounded or immobilised. Delivery may be required across the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories, Europe and other international locations. The procurement is classified as services and sits within the Logistics, Warehousing and Supply Chain Solutions framework, specifically its relevant logistics lot. This is a geographically extensive requirement suited to operators able to coordinate vehicle recovery, secure storage, immobilisation activity and related logistics for DVSA.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to KUEHNE + NAGEL LIMITED on 11 August 2026. Its value is £1,250,000. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2029. The tender submission deadline was 29 May 2026 at 12:00. The award covers the full impounding, immobilisation and associated services requirement. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier is a large organisation. The published procurement information records an active award and a completed tender process.

This award demonstrates demand from DVSA for an integrated vehicle impounding and immobilisation operation delivered through a government logistics framework. Suppliers considering future work for this buyer would need practical capability in vehicle recovery, secure impound storage, immobilisation, release administration and associated transport services. The wide delivery footprint means credible operators would need geographic coverage or a dependable logistics partner network across the UK and relevant overseas territories and jurisdictions. Experience managing high-volume, controlled vehicle movements and public-sector service standards would strengthen a future bid. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialists could compete by offering focused operational expertise, regional coverage or well-managed subcontracting arrangements.
