## Summary

The Driving Standards Agency (DVSA) has awarded a contract for "Hybrid & Electric Vehicle Training" aimed at enhancing the capabilities of its inspection staff in dealing with alternative fuel vehicles. This £276,000 contract falls under the education and training services sector and runs from 20 January 2021 to 19 January 2024. The tender process followed an open procurement method, and the contract was awarded on 18 January 2021 after the tender period closed on 10 September 2020. The training is intended to ensure safety and comprehension of Hybrid and Electric vehicle systems, accommodating approximately 1,100 staff located in the United Kingdom.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in vocational training and education, particularly those with experience in automotive technologies and safety inspections. Companies that deliver recognised qualifications or training for large groups would be well-suited to engage with DVSA. With the automotive industry increasingly shifting towards electric and hybrid vehicles, businesses that can provide expertise in these areas are likely to find competitive advantages in future procurement opportunities related to vehicle training and safety compliance.

## Notice

As more and more of the alternative fuel propulsion system is encountered, DVSA need to ensure that all inspection staff, be it roadside or at periodic technical inspection, can deal with both Hybrid and Electric vehicles safely. DVSA inspection staff therefore require training to provide awareness of the systems and the dangers involved inherent with the design of such vehicles. The type of inspections that DVSA staff are required to undertake are mainly visual inspections for Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGV) and Public Service Vehicles (PSV) which includes inspecting the safety aspects as per the safety manual. There may also be a requirement for some specialist and hands on interrogation too. DVSA has awarded a contract to procure services for a supplier to deliver a nationally recognised qualification, Level 2 to all inspection staff (approximately 1 100 staff) on the safe inspection of Hybrid and Electric vehicles.
