## Summary

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), a central government public authority, recently awarded a contract for the "Carriage of Hazardous Chemicals and Dangerous Goods training." The contract, aimed at providing training services to Traffic Examiners, was awarded to DG SOLUTIONS (EUROPE) LIMITED under an open procurement method below the threshold of open competition. The award was finalised on 17 June 2026 with the contract starting on 13 July 2026 and running through 12 July 2029, with potential for a one-year extension. This procurement falls under the education and training services category and involves a gross contract value of GBP 64,800. The project location is within the United Kingdom, predominantly servicing the regions specified within the tender documents.

This contract offers significant growth opportunities for SMEs specialising in educational and training services, particularly those with expertise in hazardous materials regulations and roadside enforcement training. Given the open competition procurement method and focus on quality (70% weighting) over price (30% weighting), businesses with proven capabilities in delivering high-standard online training programs for up to 180 delegates stand well-positioned to secure similar opportunities with public sector bodies. Such contracts not only contribute to the growth of service portfolios but also enhance reputation with governmental agencies.

## Notice

DVSA has an ongoing requirement for training in the appropriate legislation relating to the Carriage of Hazardous Chemicals and Dangerous Goods by Road. The training is for Traffic Examiners to carry out roadside enforcement activities effectively. The training will allow Traffic Examiners to perform to the required standard on behalf of both the 'Dangerous Goods Division & The 'Transport Security and Contingencies Directorate' of the Department for Transport. The expectation is to deliver online training for up to approximately 180 delegates for the initial 3-year contract period.
