Summary of the contracting process

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has completed the procurement process for the contract titled "K280020526 Speed Measuring Devices," classified under the CPV category for repair and maintenance services of vehicles. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure, conducted without a prior call for competition due to the unique technical requirements of the speed measuring devices. The contract was awarded to LET Automotive N.V. on 15th April 2021, with a total value of £229,700. This procurement took place in the UK, and though the status is marked as complete, it reflects the niche nature of the requirement.

This contract presents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the technical service and equipment sectors, particularly those specialising in calibration and maintenance of measurement devices. While LET Automotive N.V. currently holds the contract as the sole supplier, potential competitors should focus on innovative solutions or partnerships that can address similar technical requirements. Companies with advanced capabilities in bespoke vehicle services or those looking to expand into niche markets within the public sector may find opportunities for collaboration or future tenders as the DVSA continues to prioritise effective speed measurement solutions.
