Summary of the contracting process

The procurement titled "T3 Procurement Specialist Review" was carried out by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) located in Bristol, England. Classified under procurement consultancy services, this project supports the Theory Test re-procurement project and involves a 12-month extension to the existing contract, valued at £1,500,000. The procurement utilised a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement. Key dates include the tender period ending on 23rd December 2024 and the contract period running from 10th February 2025 to 9th February 2027. The most recent update was on 13th October 2025.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses that specialise in procurement consultancy services, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as they are identified as suitable participants. With considerable contract value and an international delivery scope covering regions such as Europe, the UK, and British Overseas Territories, it is a lucrative opportunity for consulting firms capable of providing strategic and analytical services aimed at re-procurement processes.
