This open procedure, classified under CPV code 31000000 for Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables, and lighting, sought to establish a contract to supply, install, commission, calibrate, and maintain 79 new vehicle testing lanes along with fully integrated test lane software, IT hardware, and licences. However, the procurement status was updated to cancelled on 8 November 2024 following a previous tender update on 7 November 2024, indicating the discontinuation of the procurement competition with a possibility of reissuing the tender in the new year. The total estimated contract value was £30,000,000, with the contract intended to run for an initial period of ten years plus optional extensions. This procurement represents significant business growth opportunities, especially for companies specialising in the provision of electrical machinery and maintenance services for motor vehicles. Firms with expertise in complex hardware and software integration for vehicle testing are particularly well-suited to compete. The structured nature of the contract, with high-quality standards (90% quality criteria) and cost considerations (10% cost criteria), ensures that experienced contractors with robust service capabilities can leverage this opportunity to expand their business footprint in the public sector. Furthermore, the comprehensive nature of the contract, requiring an all-inclusive supply, install, and maintenance service package, offers long-term engagement potential and market stability for successful bidders. ## Notice The DVA now wish to establish a Contract to appoint a Contractor to supply, install, commission, calibrate and maintain a total of 79 new vehicle testing lanes of equipment, the associated fully integrated test lane (ITL) software, all associated IT hardware and licences (from here on in referred to as 'Vehicle Test Solution') to service its network of Test Centres.
