Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) recently completed a procurement process titled "WP186.1 ADAS Programme (AEB)" within the mechanical and electrical engineering services industry. This contract primarily involved testing M1 and N3 category vehicles across Great Britain to ensure compliance with safety standards. The contract, valued at £186,290, was awarded on 29th July 2025 to Horiba Mira Ltd. The procurement process utilised a limited method, specifically an award procedure without prior competition, and was executed as a call-off from a framework, which falls outside the usual directive application scope. Key activities were scheduled across the UK, under the auspices of the DVSA, whose contact is available for commercial enquiries via email.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in vehicle testing and compliance services, particularly those with expertise in technology and engineering within the automotive sector. Given the nature of the award, large-scale enterprises like Horiba Mira Ltd are well-suited to compete, especially those capable of meeting rigorous safety and testing standards. While the procurement process is complete, similar future opportunities can provide substantial business growth for firms looking to establish or expand their presence in the automotive safety testing segment, particularly within the United Kingdom.
