Notice Title

Calibration and maintenance of MAHA equipment at DVSA sites

Notice Description

This notice is to inform the marketplace that DVSA plan to, following a negotiated without prior publication procedure, award a contract for the calibration, service/maintenance, repair, and purchase of new of its MAHA vehicle testing equipment.
