## Summary

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has successfully completed a procurement process for "E-Bike Testing Equipment," necessitating the acquisition of equipment classified under electrical equipment and apparatus within the goods category. Located in the UK, this procurement was executed through a limited method, specifically negotiated without the publication of a contract notice, in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulation (PCR) 2015. The contract, valued at £112,764.05, was signed on 14th October 2021. This process aimed to appoint EMEC Prototyping GMBH as the single supplier capable of providing testing equipment that meets the Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycles Regulations 2015.

This tender represents a considerable opportunity for suppliers involved in the manufacture or provision of specialised testing equipment, particularly those focusing on electrical testing apparatus. Businesses with expertise in developing equipment that exceeds standard testing limits for e-Bikes or those that can demonstrate a commitment to research and development in this field may find themselves well-positioned to tap into similar contracts in the future. The DVSA's requirement for unique technical specifications highlights the potential for niche suppliers to engage in future tenders that seek innovative solutions within the growing electric vehicle sector.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The purpose of this procurement is to appoint a single supplier for the provision of E-Bike Testing Equipment for the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency. This procurement is being completed in accordance with Public Contracts Regulation (PCR) 2015 32(2)(b)(ii). The DVSA wishes to test a range of vehicles that are representative of what are currently available for use on the roads and cycle paths of Great Britain. These tests are intended to ensure that the vehicles meet the standards of the UK The Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycles (EAPC) Regulations. The purchase of standalone testing equipment is required to complete the work program allocated by DfT. The vehicle preparation, laboratory requirements and test/assessment processes shall follow the requirements and direction provided by EN 15194:2017 to measure compliance to the Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycles (Amendment) Regulations 2015.

### Procurement Information

This recommendation is in accordance with Public Contracts Regulation (PCR) 2015 32(2)(b)(ii). EMEC have been identified as the only suitable provider that can meet our need as they are the only supplier of a test rig that exceeds the Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycles Regulations 2015 limits for e-Bikes. Most equipment is designed to test vehicles to meet the limits, so the theoretical ceiling is much lower (circa 1kw) than required for the testing needed. EMEC are the only supplier who manufacture a test rig with the ability to test vehicles with a rated power of 4kW and therefore are the only supplier who can meet our needs. Therefore, competition is absent for technical reasons.
