Decommissioning of Equipment at DVSA sites - Estates Rationalisation Programme

3.1 The Driver and vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) invite proposals for the services identified within this specification and its related Technical specification. The Technical Specification explains what course of action that will be needed for each separate item of equipment. 3.2 The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) will continue a path to reduce the volume of its Goods Vehicle Testing Station (GVTS) Estate and Facilities. This initiative, in conjunction with the Authorised Testing Facilities (ATF) market will assist DVSA to meet its primary objective of bringing statutory vehicle testing closer to Vehicle Operators and Vehicle Maintainers. 3.3 As a result of this initiative DVSA testing equipment will become redundant and require decommissioning in readiness for disposal or relocation. All the equipment to be decommissioned is installed in DVSAs GVTS and Enforcement sites network throughout Great Britain. Due to the complexity of the ERP it is not possible at this time to disclose the location of the equipment and when it will require decommissioning. However, the DVSA Contract Manager will inform the Contractor when this information becomes available.
