## Summary

The procurement process titled "Provision of Vehicle Excise Duty Roadside Survey" was conducted by the Department for Transport (DfT), with an industry classification under survey services. The contract, valued at £400,000, is situated in London, England, and achieved its award status on 17 March 2021, following the completion of the tender period that ended on 9 February 2021. The awarded contract is intended to run from 19 March 2021 to 31 December 2021, and the procurement method employed was selective, with the process carried out through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses engaged in survey services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies that specialise in road traffic studies, data collection, and analysis would be particularly well-positioned to compete in future tenders of this nature, which aim to support policy development and enforcement related to vehicle compliance in the UK.

## Notice

The Department for Transport (DfT) has a requirement to conduct a survey in 2021 to measure the number of vehicles on the road which do not have valid Vehicle Excise Duty (VED). This is to be achieved by surveying vehicles at selected sites to record information on vehicle registration marks with accompanying images of the vehicles being observed in traffic, which are then referenced against relevant official vehicle record databases. The information collected will be used by DfT and the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) for a variety of statistical purposes. The primary objective is to estimate the levels of VED evasion, although the survey results will also be used to estimate the prevalence of foreign registered vehicles on UK roads and other characteristics of road traffic as required.
