## Summary

The Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency has awarded a contract for the "Provision of Traffic Medicine Course," which falls under the personal development training services category. This contract, valued at £25,550, was awarded following a direct procurement method, specifically a single tender action, as it was below the threshold. The contract commenced on 9th August 2019 and concluded on 1st November 2019, serving delivery addresses in Wales, United Kingdom. The award notice was published on 12th December 2019.

This tender presents an opportunity for educational institutions or training providers specialising in medical education and driver assessment services. Companies that focus on personal development training, particularly those with expertise in traffic medicine or driver psychology, would be well-placed to compete for similar future contracts, enhancing their visibility and credibility in this niche market.

## Notice

There is currently no qualification in traffic medicine. Recognising this, the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland (RCPI) developed a course leading to a certificate in traffic medicine and the first course was held in March 2015. The course covers: * Driving Standards * Driver Psychology and behaviour * The impact of medical conditions on varying elements of the driving task * Driver Assessment * Cognitive assessment techniques and their interpretation in relation to driving The course covers every aspect of the work provided by the medical advisors in Drivers Medical Casework. Holding this certificate would provide MAs with a highly credible qualification in the subject they are dealing with on a daily basis. When representing the Agency at court or other external meetings, holding such a qualification provides much greater visibility, credibility and significance.
