Description

The Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), an executive agency of the Department for Transport (DfT), invites proposals for the following requirement that will be met by a multi-supplier contract. The contracts will be subject to the terms of the specification for the Provision of Prosecution and Legal Services, and will be for an initial term of 4 (four) years.

PLS is responsible for progressing cases through the courts; dealing with all matters including the laying of information, adjournments, conclusion of the case and reporting back to the DVSA Network customer.
