Description

The Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) is looking to procure the services of a supplier(s) to deliver Intensive Driver Training for approximately 144 delegates over an initial 3-year contract period.

DVSA has an ongoing requirement for Driving Examiners to attend Intensive Driver Training to acquire the driving licence categories C, CE and D. Due to the current UK shortages of Heavy Good Vehicles (HGV) and Passenger Service Vehicle (PSV) drivers, DVSA needs to increase the number of Driver Examiners for these categories. This will allow DVSA to meet the increasing demand for driving tests in these categories.

The purpose of the PIN and RFI is to inform the market of the requirement and gather information and feedback from the market via a Supplier Questionnaire in advance of publishing a future tender.

Following receipt of the information from suppliers in response to the RFI, DVSA intend to finalise the tender documentation and publish a tender via Find a Tender and Contracts Finder.

Please read the Specification section within the PIN document.

Respond to the questions in the Supplier Questionnaire section within the PIN document and submit your responses via DfT's eSourcing Portal, Jaggaer, by 17:00hrs on 17th December 2021. This will appear as a Pre Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ).

If you have any questions, raise them via DfT's eSourcing Portal, Jaggaer, by 17:00hrs on 10th December 2021.
