Payment Terms

Payment obligations depend on the applicable regime and contract. Consult the official documents.
Coverage: 12 active published awards; 10 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

No-engagement rationaleNot published
Procedure rationaleDue to a requirement to align the contractual end dates of the various Theory Test related contracts it was necessary to award this contract to the incumbent as they are the only supplier able to deliver the existing delivery model without encompassing huge amounts of risk, or changes to existing models for both the DVSA and the existing suppliers of the Test Centre Network.
