Summary of the contracting process

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has completed the procurement process for the project titled "T3 HPT Validation". This project falls under the industry category of Research and Development Services and Related Consultancy Services (CPV code 73000000). The contract includes research to demonstrate the integrity of the HPT test using sample clips. The procurement stage reached the award phase on 20th February 2025, with the tender period having ended on 19th February 2025. The contract, valued at £75,000, commenced on 20th February 2025 and will conclude on 31st May 2025. The work will be delivered across multiple jurisdictions including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, United Kingdom, and the rest of the world.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research and development services, particularly those capable of undertaking technical integrity tests. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would find this type of contract well-suited to their capabilities, especially because the procurement was carried out through a direct single tender action below the threshold. The project awarded to TRL Limited, a sizeable firm, underscores that both large and smaller entities can engage successfully with governmental agencies like the DVSA in such specialised service domains to drive business growth and establish long-term partnerships.
