Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) focuses on the "WP183.1 Motorcycle Noise Programme," within the mechanical and electrical engineering services category. Based in Bristol, UK, the DVSA is a public body seeking to complete contracting activities related to noise emissions testing for two-wheeled road motorcycles. The procurement, conducted under a call-off from a framework without prior publication of a competition notice, culminated in the award stage as of 13th May 2025. The contract, valued at £147,877.50, is active and awarded to UTAC UK LTD.

This tender offers growth opportunities for businesses specialising in mechanical and electrical engineering services, particularly those involved with automotive noise emissions testing and compliance. Given the specific nature of the contract, businesses with expertise in motorcycle design and testing, and those offering high-quality engineering solutions, would find the tender well-aligned with their capabilities. As the procurement method was limited, organisations already included in relevant frameworks may have a competitive advantage in engaging with similar opportunities in the future.
