The brief

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.

What this notice demands of you

Matched against the notice text, so this is a floor — the tender pack will demand things the notice never mentions. “Says must” means the quoted sentence itself used obligation language; anything ambiguous is left as a mention.
