Questions regarding the procurement should be submitted by 17:00 hours on 10th December 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in training services, particularly those experienced in driver training for various vehicle categories. Companies with capabilities in providing comprehensive training solutions are encouraged to participate, given the ongoing demand for qualified Driving Examiners. Engaging in this tender can facilitate business growth as the DVSA seeks to expand its workforce to meet increasing testing demands, thereby creating a competitive market for potential suppliers in the driver training sector. ## 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.
