## Summary

The Department for Transport is seeking a single supplier for the tender titled "Decommissioning of Equipment at DVSA sites - Estates Rationalisation Programme." This procurement, classified under the CPV code 34000000 (Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation), is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by 17 November 2020. The project relates to the decommissioning of redundant testing equipment across the DVSA's Heavy Vehicle Testing Estates as part of their ongoing Estates Rationalisation Programme, which aims to enhance the efficiency of vehicle testing services in the UK. The contract value is £420,000, with an expected start date of 10 December 2020 and a duration lasting until 9 December 2023. 

This opportunity presents significant business growth potential for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the service sector, particularly those with expertise in equipment decommissioning and asset management. Businesses that provide specialised services related to the transportation and logistics industry will be particularly suited to compete in this tender, given the nature of the work involved and DVSA's strategic shift towards optimising its operational footprint across the country.

## Notice

2.1 DVSA is an executive agency, sponsored by the Department for Transport, and carries out driving tests, approves people to be driving instructors and MOT testers, carries out tests to make sure lorries and buses are safe to drive, carries out roadside checks on drivers and vehicles, and monitor vehicle recalls. The purpose of this procurement is to appoint a single supplier for the provision of services relating to the decommissioning of redundant DVSA testing equipment. Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) will continue to reduce the volume of its Heavy Vehicle Testing Estates and Facilities in accordance with observed incremental growth rate in the Authorised Testing Facilities market. The Testing Transformation Programme (TTP) was set up to bring statutory vehicle testing closer to Vehicle Operators and Vehicle Maintainers; by encouraging private individuals and entrepreneurs to set up an Authorised Vehicle Testing Facility (ATF) for private and public use. This was a strategic and positive shift in the way DVSA conducts its vehicle testing business. TTP has now been replaced by the Estates Rationalisation Programme (ERP) in a bid to lower the DVSA's Estate throughout the Country.
