## Summary

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), a national agency based in Bristol, UK, has completed the procurement process for the supply of drones and associated training. Under the classification of non-piloted aircraft, this procurement falls under the 'goods' category and is aimed at enhancing DVSA's operational capabilities. The tender process reached the award stage by June 2026, following a limited procurement method, which involved a direct award without the prior publication of a call for competition. This specific procurement was directly awarded from a framework agreement Y23046 managed by Kent County Council, and was signed on the 18th of March, 2026, for a contract value of £84,060.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses operating within the drone manufacturing and training industries. Companies specialised in supplying unmanned aerial vehicles and training services will find relevance in this procurement initiative. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) particularly those with expertise in aviation technology and training stand to benefit from such contracts that provide them an entry point to collaborate with national agencies like the DVSA. Given the direct award nature, businesses already part of established frameworks or with the ability to offer bespoke solutions quickly may find a strategic advantage.
