Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "WP181 Aftermarket Emissions Programme" was conducted by the Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency, based in Bristol, UK. This tender focused on mechanical and electrical engineering services, specifically to commission specialist laboratory testing for aftermarket emissions components. The procurement method was limited, following an award procedure without prior publication, underpinned by the rationale that it falls outside the directive's application scope. The process is now in the award stage, with the contract having been signed on 13th August 2025 for a value of £176,620.00. The procurement is part of services and falls under the category CPV 71334000, with the primary location of delivery being the United Kingdom.

The awarding of this contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in mechanical and electrical engineering services, particularly those with experience in compliance testing or emissions-related projects. As the contract was won by Mahle Powertrain Ltd, a large-scale supplier, it highlights the kind of expertise and resources needed to effectively compete in such tenders. Suppliers in the automotive and environmental engineering sectors could find similar opportunities to leverage their capabilities for future tenders issued by public bodies like the DVSA. The project's focus on emissions testing also aligns well with sustainability goals, offering further growth possibilities in the burgeoning field of eco-friendly automotive solutions.
