## Summary

```html

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), based in Bristol, has awarded a contract for the provision of a Theory Test Assessment Platform. The procurement process, conducted through a direct method as a Single Tender Action (below threshold), has now reached the completion stage. This contract, valued at £26,000,000, spans the 'services' industry category and covers a wide geographical area including the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, and the Rest of the World. The tender period ended on 15th July 2025, and the contract will be active from 6th September 2025 to 5th September 2028. The successful supplier for this project is Pearson Professional Assessments Ltd (Pearson Vue).

This tender represents substantial growth opportunities, primarily for large businesses experienced in delivering driving-test services given its scope and budget of GBP 26 million. As it is classified under the 'services' procurement category and was procured through a direct, single tender action due to its below-threshold status, large companies with resources and capabilities in the driving-test services industry are well-placed to benefit. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or VCSEs might find entry more challenging due to the suitability requirements set by the contracting authority.
