The requirement: A prototype for a driving simulator that will replicate a practical in-car driving test to support new entrant driver examiner training. Background to the Requirement: Currently, an assessment drive takes place as part of the recruitment process, this is to understand if the driving ability of the trainee driving examiner meets the DVSA's high standard. The course lasts approximately 6 weeks with practical and classroom elements. It is hoped that a driving simulator will be able to assist in testing the abilities of the trainee driving examiners in a no risk environment. This will aid training as a simulated test can run in different locations instead of the 10 current driver training centres. The event is aimed at: - Suppliers with experience of developing driving simulator solutions. The event does not form part of a formal procurement but will inform the formal tender in due course.
