This procurement process is classified under the services industry and follows an open procedure, with an estimated contract value of £5.6 million. The tender period concludes on 13th September 2021, while the contract is expected to commence on 4th October 2021 and run until 29th September 2023. Delivery addresses span across the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in recruitment services, particularly those with experience in providing qualified driving assessors. Companies that can offer flexible staffing solutions to meet fluctuating demand in driving exams could find this contract advantageous, especially in light of the backlog caused by the Covid pandemic. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, with the potential for sustained growth in a sector impacted by recent demand fluctuations. ## Notice DVSA is looking to procure the services for the temporary supply of suitably qualified resource through which we can flexibly increase the supply of car practical driving tests (i.e. Category B tests) available to the public. Over the last 12 months the Covid pandemic has periodically forced the suspension of routine practical driving tests, causing a back log. In response, this procurement will result in a contract for the flexible supply of Experienced Driving Assessors. This will allow DVSA to increase the volume of examiner resource in response to this current demand and provide the flexibility to respond to peaks and troughs thereafter.
