This procurement is classified under training services and is presently in the planning stage. Key dates include the engagement end date set for 17 December 2021, with suppliers encouraged to respond to a Supplier Questionnaire via the DfT's eSourcing Portal. Interested parties should note the requirement for a DUNS number for registration and can access additional documentation linked through the DfT sourcing portal. This tender presents a significant opportunity for training providers and businesses specialising in driver education, particularly those equipped to enhance the skills of driving examiners in response to the current UK shortages of Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) and Passenger Service Vehicle (PSV) drivers. Companies that can efficiently manage intensive driver training and have the capacity to scale up their services to meet DVSA’s requirements will be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging with this procurement process positions businesses to support DVSA in fulfilling its training needs while expanding their own operational capabilities. ## Notice The Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) is looking to procure the services of a supplier(s) to deliver Intensive Driver Training for approximately 144 delegates over an initial 3-year contract period. DVSA has an ongoing requirement for Driving Examiners to attend Intensive Driver Training to acquire the driving licence categories C, CE and D. Due to the current UK shortages of Heavy Good Vehicles (HGV) and Passenger Service Vehicle (PSV) drivers, DVSA needs to increase the number of Driver Examiners for these categories. This will allow DVSA to meet the increasing demand for driving tests in these categories. The purpose of the PIN and RFI is to inform the market of the requirement and gather information and feedback from the market via a Supplier Questionnaire in advance of publishing a future tender. Following receipt of the information from suppliers in response to the RFI, DVSA intend to finalise the tender documentation and publish a tender via Find a Tender and Contracts Finder. Please read the Specification section within the PIN document. Respond to the questions in the Supplier Questionnaire section within the PIN document and submit your responses via DfT's eSourcing Portal, Jaggaer, by 17:00hrs on 17th December 2021. This will appear as a Pre Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ). If you have any questions, raise them via DfT's eSourcing Portal, Jaggaer, by 17:00hrs on 10th December 2021.
