## Summary

The public procurement process, titled "WP183.1 Motorcycle Noise Programme," was initiated by the Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) for a contract involving mechanical and electrical engineering services related to motorcycle noise emissions testing in the UK. Classified under the services category, this procurement stage has been marked as 'complete' as of the document date, 13th October 2025. The procurement was conducted through a limited method, specifically a call-off from a framework without prior publication, indicating that it falls outside the usual procurement directive scope. The contract, valued at £244,597.50, was signed on 13th May 2025 and has since been awarded to UTAC UK LTD, with the status noted as 'active'.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in mechanical and electrical engineering services, especially those experienced in noise emissions testing. Companies that can provide innovative solutions in the field of motorcycle noise emissions would be well-suited to engage in similar procurements. The contract, being a call-off from a framework, suggests a predefined supplier list, but future opportunities may open the door for additional businesses with strong technical offers. The primary investigation for noise emissions, involving various classes of motorcycles, indicates a niche area that could benefit firms focused on research and environmental compliance services.
