Summary of the contracting process

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has successfully completed a procurement process for the supply of Motorcycle Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), valued at £496,737.42. This procurement falls under the goods category and complies with the EU's new safety regulations. The contract was awarded to Nevis Marketing Limited on 16 April 2021, following a limited tender procedure that necessitated a negotiation without prior publication due to compliance issues with the initial bids. The DVSA conducts approximately 60,000 motorcycle riding tests annually in Great Britain and requires a wide range of PPE, including jackets, helmets, and high-visibility clothing to ensure safety for its staff in the field.

This contract presents significant business opportunities for suppliers specialising in health and safety equipment, particularly those offering CE-compliant motorcycle clothing and accessories. Businesses that can demonstrate a strong understanding of safety standards and regulations within the industry, and that are capable of supplying high-quality PPE products, will be well-positioned to compete in similar tenders. With the growing emphasis on safety and compliance in public service, securing contracts like this can be a pivotal growth avenue for small and medium-sized enterprises in the PPE sector.

Notice Title

K280020732 Supply of Motorcycle Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Notice Description

This notice is for transparency purposes only. The DVSA have awarded a contract for the supply of motorcycle personal protective equipment via a negotiated procedure prior to publication in compliance with Public Contracts Regulations 2015 Regulation 32(2).

Lot Information

Lot 1

The DVSA conducts 60,000 motorcycle riding tests a year for candidates wanting to obtain entitlement on their driving license to enable them to ride motorcycles on the public highway. DVSA staff will spend up to 8 hours a day on a motorbike to conduct the riding tests and require Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to enable them to perform the job safely. DVSA is tendering to award a contract with a supplier that can supply a wide range of motorcycle clothing and Conformite Europeene (CE) approved PPE, to include (but not limited to) jackets, trousers, boots, gloves, under-garments, motorcycle helmets, helmet accessories and branded hi-vis jackets, throughout Great Britain.

Procurement Information

Following a review of all bid submissions it was identified that there were issues with the proposals of all bidders that resulted in no compliant bid submissions. The issues were that all bidders failed to propose products that met the safety requirements outlined within the specification. The specification identified that all PPE must be supplied to CE and EN standards where applicable to meet the new E.U. regulations. As the PPE regulation 2016/425 impacts garments manufactured after 21 April 2019, many products were proposed that were manufactured against the regulations that were in place prior and therefore did not meet the required standards. There were also issues with the protective trousers and jacket, and the high-vis garments not meeting the required safety standards. Therefore the Authority entered in to a negotiation without prior publication with the now contractor.
