## Summary

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) is currently planning a tender for the calibration, certification, and electrical safety inspection of e-bike testing equipment, along with PUWER services for the period 2025-2028. This procurement falls under the industry category of transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation, and includes additional classifications for motorcycles, bicycles, and sidecars. The engagement stage is ongoing, with an engagement end date set for 19th November 2024. The primary location for services is Bristol, England, with potential delivery addresses spanning the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the rest of the world. The responsible contact point at DVSA is Nick Martin, reachable via email at G&Scategoryteam@DVSA.gov.uk or telephone at 07710670237.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in the certification, calibration, and maintenance of electrical testing equipment, particularly within the e-bike segment. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate. Given the 2-year term with an optional additional 2-year extension, successful bidders can expect sustained business involvement. Companies with expertise in transport equipment, particularly those experienced in working with government agencies, would find this tender particularly fitted to their capabilities and services.

## Notice

DVSA as part of the DfT group have purchased e-bike testing equipment that will require ongoing calibration and related services during the life of the testing programme. This requirement will be on a 2 year + 2 year term. Due to the unknown length of the testing programme DVSA cannot currently commit to a longer-term agreement.
