## Summary

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has successfully completed the procurement process for the calibration and maintenance of MAHA equipment at DVSA sites across the UK. This contract involved the provision of repair and maintenance services for vehicle testing equipment and was awarded to MAHA UK Limited following a negotiated procedure without prior publication due to technical constraints. The contract was signed on 6th July 2021, covering a period of two years with an option for further extensions. The total contract value is £140,000.

This contract presents significant opportunities for SMEs, particularly those specialising in vehicle testing equipment, calibration services, and technical maintenance. Companies with expertise in the specific needs of DVSA and those capable of providing bespoke solutions tailored to the unique challenges of the public transport sector would be well-suited to participate in future tenders. The move towards limited competition in this area highlights the need for providers with specialised knowledge and technical capabilities.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

This notice is to inform the marketplace that DVSA, following a negotiated without prior publication procedure, has awarded a Contract for the calibration, service/maintenance, repair, and purchase of new of its MAHA vehicle testing equipment. The equipment comprises of, but not limited to; Roller Brake Testers, Wheel Play Detectors, Load Simulators, and Headlamp Aim Testers for Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) and Public Service Vehicles (PSV) testing for Road Traffic Enforcement Activities. DVSA have used the negotiated without prior publication route to market. This is justified based on competition being absent due to technical reasons (PCR 2015, reg 32.2.b.ii). The services are currently supplied under contract with MAHA UK Limited for provision of UK engineering services with technical support in the UK. The contract is due to expire with no option to extend further. A contract is now required for the below period directly with the calibration, maintenance, and repair provider. MAHA UK are the only supplier with the technical expertise to meet the requirements of the contract. The requirement is for a period of 2 years with the option to extend (2+1+1). Services are required at DVSA sites across the UK. The volume of services is expected to decrease, with the removal of assets, during the life of the contract.

### Procurement Information

DVSA have used the negotiated without prior publication route to market. This is justified based on competition being absent due to technical reasons (reg 32.2.b.ii). The technical reasons for the justification are as follows: - The technical knowledge to calibrate and effect repairs of the aging (0-20yr) testing equipment is limited to the service provider. - The requirement is further technically limited by the bespoke nature of some of the equipment to the specific needs of DVSA. - The requirements are time limited due to the removal of assets over the next 2-4years with no budget for new test lanes, equipment or associated training.
