## Summary

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) is undertaking a procurement process titled "Calibration and maintenance of MAHA equipment at DVSA sites". This tender falls under the category of repair and maintenance services within the UK. The procurement stage is currently at the Award stage, with the contract effective from 18th July 2021 until 17th July 2023. A budget of £140,000 has been allocated for this limited procurement method, which utilised a negotiated procedure without prior publication due to the absence of competition based on technical reasons. The tender concluded on 1st June 2021.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for SMEs specialising in equipment maintenance and calibration, particularly those with expertise in vehicle testing equipment. As the current contract is being awarded to MAHA UK Limited due to their unique technical skills, businesses that can offer similar or innovative solutions in this specific area may find avenues to either collaborate or compete in future contracts. Companies that have experience in providing services for heavy goods and public service vehicle testing would be especially well-suited to engage with DVSA for potential future tenders.

## Notice

This notice is to inform the marketplace that DVSA plan to, following a negotiated without prior publication procedure, award a contract for the calibration, service/maintenance, repair, and purchase of new of its MAHA vehicle testing equipment. The equipment comprises of, but not limited to; Roller Brake Testers, Wheel Play Detectors, Load Simulators, and Headlamp Aim Testers for Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) and Public Service Vehicles (PSV) testing for Road Traffic Enforcement Activities. DVSA have used the negotiated without prior publication route to market. This is justified based on competition being absent due to technical reasons (PCR 2015, reg 32.2.b.ii). The services are currently supplied under contract with MAHA UK Limited for provision of UK engineering services with technical support in the UK. The contract is due to expire with no option to extend further. A contract is now required for the below period directly with the calibration, maintenance, and repair provider. MAHA UK are the only supplier with the technical expertise to meet the requirements of the contract. The requirement is for a period of 2 years with the option to extend (2+1+1). Services are required at DVSA sites across the UK. The volume of services is expected to decrease, with the removal of assets, during the life of the contract.
