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.

As a result of this activity, various types of offences are detected by DVSA Examiners and Investigators which may justify prosecution action through the court system.

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.
