## Summary

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) is preparing to re-procure its Training and Testing Audit Services, with an estimated value of £4,327,547.95 (gross). This project involves auditing various training and examination centres across the UK in association with the Driver & Vehicle Agency (DVA), Health & Safety Executive Northern Ireland (HSENI), and the Welsh Government. The procurement is initially at the planning stage, with a Request for Information (RFI) deadline set for 21st August 2026. The procurement process follows an open procedure and targets the services industry, specifically focusing on auditing services. The new contract is expected to commence on 16th December 2026, following the expiration of the current contract on 15th December 2026.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities, especially for SMEs skilled in auditing services across the transport and safety sectors. Firms with expertise in meeting regulatory requirements for training and safety standards in the UK would find this contract particularly suitable. Since the procurement is structured to potentially encompass a maximum contract period until December 2030, this opportunity offers a long-term engagement, allowing businesses to establish and expand their presence in public sector auditing. Given the scale and scope, companies with robust capabilities in handling multiple government contracts and compliance-driven projects will be well-positioned to compete effectively.

## Notice

DVSA is requesting information from potential suppliers to help shape our approach to re-procuring our Training and Testing Audit Services requirement. DVSA's current Training and Testing Audit Services contract is due to expire on 15 December 2026. This opportunity is to replace the current contract. This requirement covers the auditing of centres, courses, and examinations across the UK on behalf of the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), the Driver & Vehicle Agency (DVA), the Health & Safety Executive Northern Ireland (HSENI), and the Welsh Government. The audits relate to Driver CPC periodic training (Driver CPC), Taxi Driver Periodic Training (TDPT, in Northern Ireland only), Drink Drive Rehabilitation (DDR), and Dangerous Goods Driver Training (DGDT), ensuring that these programmes and assessments are delivered in accordance with the relevant standards and regulatory requirements.
