Summary of the contracting process

Southampton City Council bought training and assessment services for large goods vehicle (LGV) drivers. The work is associated with Southampton. The requirement is focused on driver training and assessment rather than a broader transport service.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to BY PASS DRIVER TRAINING LTD. The council used a competitive quotation process below the applicable threshold, with a limited procurement method. The award value was £125,000. The award was made on 6 December 2024, and the contract period runs from 1 December 2024 to 1 December 2029. The original estimated procurement value was also £125,000. The requirement was not divided into lots; small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable to participate.

For a supplier seeking similar work from Southampton City Council, this award demonstrates demand for LGV driver training and assessment delivered over a substantial contract period. A credible competitor would need to show that it can provide both driver training and assessment and compete through a quotation-based process. The selected supplier was identified as a small or medium-sized business, showing that a supplier of that scale has delivered this requirement.
