## Summary

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) is currently conducting a tender for the "Provision of Vision Testing Services", aimed at delivering essential visual field and visual acuity testing to assess drivers' medical fitness to hold a driving licence. This procurement falls within the health services industry category (CPV 85160000) and is being organised under an open procedure. Interested suppliers should note that the tender period concludes on 10th August 2018, with the contract intended to commence on 11th January 2019 and lasting until 10th January 2022. The services will be required to cover all of Great Britain, enabling opportunities across a wide range of locations including the UK and British Overseas Territories.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in optician services, as DVLA encourages partnerships through the creation of consortiums or subcontracting with Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). Companies falling within the SME category, including those with fewer than 250 employees, would be particularly well-suited to participate. Suppliers keen to engage in this procurement should prepare to deliver high-quality testing services and demonstrate their capacity for nationwide coverage, thus fostering growth and expansion in the health services market.
