Custom Fit Motorcycle Examiner Earplugs 2026
This is a contract result notice, not an open opportunity. Details from the official award data.
The procurement contact named on the official notice.
DVSA motorcycle examiners conduct riding tests for candidates seeking entitlement to ride motorcycles on public roads.
To carry out these tests, examiners spend up to eight hours a day on a motorcycle and may reach speeds of up to 70 mph.
Research indicates that riding at speeds above 60 mph can lead to hearing loss caused by excessive wind noise.
To mitigate this risk, DVSA introduced routine audiology assessments for motorcycle examiners and the use of custom-fitted earplugs.
DVSA now intends to award a contract to a single supplier to provide two pairs of custom-fitted earplugs for each examiner, with replacements supplied every two years.
The service will include on-site fitting, where the supplier visits DVSA locations to take ear canal impressions before delivering the custom earplugs.
It is estimated that approximately 100 ear impressions will be taken annually, resulting in the supply of around 200 pairs of custom-fitted earplugs each year.
