## Summary

The procurement process was conducted by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), a public authority under the UK central government. This contract titled "DVSA calibration services for PCE & E-bike Test Equipment 2025-2028" falls under the services industry category and is geographically located in the United Kingdom. The process has reached the award stage, with Testo Industrial Services selected as the supplier. The contract period extends from 4 July 2025 to 3 July 2028, with a possible one-year extension. The procurement method applied was limited, as it was considered below threshold, entailing a limited competition among suppliers. Calibration services are at the core of this tender, vital to ensure the safety and compliance of electric bikes and related equipment.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in calibration and equipment testing services, particularly those experienced in handling vehicular test equipment. Companies with capabilities in ISO 17025 compliance and calibration of electronics such as isolation amplifiers, temperature probes, and similar devices will find this contract within their scope. As the DVSA prioritises high standards and compliance with regulatory requirements, service providers with a track record in precision calibration and quality assurance will be well-suited to compete for such government contracts, thereby potentially growing their business footprint in the public sector.

## Notice

DVSA is seeking a single supplier to provide calibration services for 6 different pieces of equipment that is used by different areas of DVSA staff. The Market Surveillance Unit (MSU) under the direction of Department for Transport (DfT) are required to test Electric Bike's and Scooters that come onto the market to ensure they are fit for road use. This comprises of the Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycle (EAPC) work programme and establish non-compliance against suspected products and companies. The testing equipment was provided with standalone IT equipment which does not require connecting to DVSA network or require servicing via DVSA's current IT service provider. Further testing equipment was then purchased for expanding markets and further programme expectations and requirements assigned to MSU by DfT. This included additional rollers/tracks to allow for testing of other types of electric cycle, such as 3 or 4 wheeled 'cargo' cycles, which are becoming increasingly more prevalent in the marketplace. MSU are required to enforce against any non-compliant vehicles, and the evidence gained from testing such vehicles against regulatory standards is imperative to the investigations. The additional e-scooter extensions are also essential as MSU continues its investigations into companies that supply electric scooters through a work programme allocated by DfT. Failure to ensure the calibrations and safety standards are upheld could have legal and health implications. To complete this work various pieces of equipment within the equipment they use need either yearly or Bi-Yearly calibration, these are: * Isolation Amplifiers * Temperature Probes * Current Transducers * Torque Sensors Post Collision Examinations (PCE) are carried out by DVSA Enforcement staff that have been specifically trained to carry out investigations on behalf of local Police Forces in their particular Area, when major Road Traffic Accidents have occurred. Fully calibrated equipment will be needed should these findings be presented in a Court of Law. At the time of going out to tender there are 8 staff within the Enforcement directorate that will have the following equipment that will need calibrating every year: * Tyre Pressure Gauge * Air Tank Gauges This particular equipment will need to be calibrated in line with ISO 17025 and they are undertaking the process of having this certified.
