Summary of the contracting process

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency bought 75 basic Inelo Tachoscan devices for use by its Traffic Examiners. This is a goods requirement for tachometers and related tachograph equipment, rather than a service, construction or software-only opportunity. The equipment is for the DVSA’s operational activities in the United Kingdom. The named product requirement is specifically for Inelo Basic Tachoscan 2026 devices, indicating a standardised purchase intended to support examination and enforcement work. Businesses supplying tachometers, digital tachograph equipment or comparable equipment for transport regulation may find this buyer and requirement relevant. The purchasing organisation is the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency, a central government public authority based in Bristol.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to INELO POLSKA SP Z O O. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and runs from 31 July 2026 to 31 October 2026. Its value is £12,450 gross. The selected supplier is INELO POLSKA SP Z O O, based in Bielsko-Biała, Poland. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement covered 75 devices, while the published contract value covers the completed purchase. The process used a limited procurement method rather than an open competition, so the buyer selected suppliers for the competition before evaluating the responses.

This procurement demonstrates a defined DVSA demand for tachograph equipment used by Traffic Examiners, with a relatively small, standardised device purchase delivered over a short contract period. A future competitor would need to supply basic Inelo Tachoscan devices or demonstrate a credible ability to provide equivalent tachometer equipment that meets the DVSA’s operational requirements. Relevant strengths would include established relationships with tachograph or transport-technology manufacturers, dependable supply and delivery arrangements, product knowledge, and the ability to support a government enforcement organisation. The route used was limited competition, so businesses seeking comparable work should be able to satisfy pre-selection requirements and compete through a restricted supplier field. Experience supplying transport authorities, inspection bodies or fleet compliance teams would strengthen credibility.
