Lot details

Lot 1

DVSA requires the supplier to manage and deliver a programme of audits to training providers and the driver training courses they deliver. The supplier will also be required to provide an audit of exam venues, training delivery and administrative procedures. Audits will be required for several statutory training schemes. These are Driver CPC (DCPC), Drink Drive Rehabilitation (DDR) and the Carriage of Dangerous Goods (ADR). In respect of ADR, it is anticipated that this will form part of the contract from 1 April 2024 and will include the audit of examinations for Dangerous Goods Driver Training. The supplier will be required to conduct a schedule of audits provided by DVSA against pre-set criteria. This will involve the allocation and planning of audit using a range of information provided by DVSA, assessment of evidence against criteria provided by DVSA, production of accurate reports to detail the findings with recommendations and the management of internal standards across the team of auditors. The purpose of the PIN is to inform the market of the requirement and gather information and feedback from the market via a market engagement event. Following the market engagement event, DVSA intend to finalise the tender documentation and publish a tender via Find a Tender and Contracts Finder. The market engagement event will be taking place at 11:00hrs until 13:00hrs on Wednesday 5 April 2023 via Microsoft Teams. How to Register If you wish to attend the market engagement event, please respond to commercialenquiries@dvsa.gov.uk for the attention of Stacey Griffiths, confirming your attendance and the email addresses of those attending (a maximum of 2 per supplier), by 17:00hrs on Friday 31 March 2023. Once you have confirmed your intention to attend, an email invite will be sent with the link to Microsoft Teams together with a draft specification Agenda The market engagement event will follow this agenda: • Introductions • Purpose of the day • Scope • Requirements • Procurement process • Feedback • Q and A • Next steps

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Auditing services (79212000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 7913,7424 median · 30.9 average (5,805 of 13,742 with a bid count)3.2 average (6,511 of 13,742 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs
Same buyer31 median · 1 average (1 of 3 with a bid count)1 average (1 of 3 with named award suppliers)Not published
Delivery region: UK3,8154 median · 60.1 average (1,524 of 3,815 with a bid count)5.1 average (1,812 of 3,815 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
