Summary of the contracting process

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) based in Bristol, UK, has completed a procurement process for the purchase of a Software Licence for a Data Logging Kit to be used within its emissions programme for testing vehicles. This procurement falls under the services category within the transport industry, specifically excluding waste transport. The procurement process was identified as a limited method and was awarded without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract, valued at £25,874.68 GBP, was awarded on 22 March 2024 to Snap-On U.K Holdings Limited.

This tender creates opportunities for suppliers specialising in software solutions and vehicle diagnostic equipment, particularly those that can provide unique or exclusive technology required for regulatory compliance. Businesses capable of providing specialised data logging and fault identification equipment that supports independent assessment of vehicle emissions will find this procurement suitable. Since the DVSA's market surveillance unit requires fault-free vehicle systems for accurate testing, suppliers with expertise in automotive diagnostics will be well-positioned to benefit from such contracts. Snap-On U.K Holdings Limited, an SME in Kettering, UK, exemplifies the type of business suited to compete in this industry.
