The Service must deliver a fully compliant Test Centre estate that meets the Authority’s 40/40 accessibility requirement, ensuring all Candidates are located within 40 minutes (urban) or 40 miles (rural) of a test centre in each region. In Northern Ireland, mandatory test centre provision is required in Ballymena, Belfast, Londonderry, Omagh, Portadown and Newry. All proposed sites will require Authority approval during implementation.\nThe TCN Supplier will be responsible for providing a responsive scheduling system offering a real time, six month forward view of test availability to the Authority’s booking systems, reflecting test duration, demand and test type requirements. The Service includes delivery of on-site invigilation to maintain test integrity; detection and deterrence of fraud; and support for incident reporting and investigative activity integrating with Authority systems.\nThe TCN Supplier must provide all necessary infrastructure and technology within each test centre, including secure hardware and software, on premises server capability, resilient network connectivity, CCTV, and sufficient equipment to deliver all standard and non-standard test adjustments for candidates with additional needs. The Service must support Welsh language options, voiceovers, British Sign Language (BSL), and—where applicable—additional language voiceovers in Northern Ireland. TCN Suppliers must also deliver approved Non Standard Adjustments including extra time, separate testing rooms, adapted equipment, signers, interpreters, language modifiers, readers, recorders, audio requirements (NI only), and home testing (not remote proctoring) where authorised.\nMulti client test sites are permitted provided they do not impede delivery of the Authority’s requirements and only with Authority approval. The TCN Service excludes delivery of tests in In House Theory Test Centres (IHTTCs).\nFurther details of the scope are contained in the procurement documents (which include the draft contract), which are available on the Jaggaer portal.\nLotting:\nThe TCN Service is packaged into three regional Lots of broadly equivalent historic and forecast test volumes based on Government Office Region geographies: \n•\tRegion 1: includes the Government Office Regions of Scotland, North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber and Northern Ireland. \n•\tRegion 2: includes the Government Office Regions of Wales, West Midlands, South East and South West. \n•\tRegion 3: includes the Government Office Regions of East Midlands, East of England and London.\nThe Authority is seeking to appoint a different TCN Supplier in each regional Lot at contract award stage to develop a more diversified supply base. However, there is no limit on the number of Lots that a supplier can bid for. In certain circumstances, where defined objective eligibility and value for money criteria are met, a supplier may be awarded a maximum of two regional Lots, while a one-Lot cap applies where such criteria are not met. The detail of this is set out in the contract award mechanism in the procurement documents.\nAdditional Services: \nThe Authority has identified several potential future developments that may be explored through the regional contracts and in the delivery of the TCN Service. These Additional Services fall within the overall scope of the contract and may, where required, be implemented through the contract’s change control procedure. The Authority is therefore clearly signalling these areas to the market at this stage, and further detail is available in the procurement documents. \nThe Additional Services are:\n•\tExploring remote testing/proctoring technology in the delivery of the Service.\n•\tExploring the use of end‑to‑end cloud architecture in the delivery of the Service.\n•\tAdding other Authority or Department for Transport tests into Service delivery.\n•\tAdding wider government tests into Service delivery.\n•\tEnabling validation of Digital Driving Licences.\n•\tEnhanced identification checking.\nKey

This engagement will enable DVSA to test refined assumptions, share updates informed by recent activity, and confirm commercial, operational and technical expectations ahead of the start of procurement activity, which is currently planned to begin from April 2026 (subject to approvals). An overview and key outcomes from previous rounds of market engagement can be found on the Department for Transport's (DfT) portal here: \n https://dft.app.jaggaer.com/go/467321710195D762A51D \n To view the documents, please navigate to the attachments section of the PQQ when logged in. \nAs part of this engagement, DVSA are planning to make draft procurement documentation or summaries of procurement documentation available through the Jaggaer eSourcing platform. If DVSA are to share this documentation through this process, the documentation is to be considered will be shared in draft and is being shared for information illustrative purposes only to aid engagement activities with the market. By providing certain content in draft in this way, DVSA make no commitment regarding the content of the final procurement documents, which may depart from the draft documentation to any extent, including by revising, replacing, adding to or removing any of the content. \nSuppliers must not upload any Authority material, including but not limited to, Authority data or material provided for the purpose of the market engagement event, into AI software or tools which are not private and secure. The Authority does not want any data or material related to this Procurement being used to “train” public AI software or tools.  \nThis market engagement will consist of two activities: \n 1. Online Webinar – Wednesday 25 February 2026 @ 15:00 – 16:00 \nThe webinar is aimed at suppliers who are interested in the TCN Service and/or TTAP Service procurement. This virtual session, hosted on Microsoft Teams, will provide suppliers with an update on the programme’s direction and the planned procurement approach and timelines alongside an overview of the DVSA’s implementation and Service requirements and the interaction between DVSA, the TCN Service and the TTAP Service. The aim of the webinar is to provide suppliers with an updated view of the Service requirements and planned procurement activity to set the context for more detailed face-to-face discussions at an in-person engagement event in March (see below). After the webinar the DVSA plans to make draft material available to the market to consider ahead of the in-person engagement event. Any suppliers who wish to access the material must sign and return the non-disclosure agreement (NDA) that will be made available immediately after the webinar.The materials and NDA form will be available via the Jaggaer e-sourcing platform, and the NDA must be returned via the messages function in the platform. Please note that suppliers who are unable to attend the webinar and/or the in-person engagement event will still be given the opportunity to access the documentation provided that they agree to the NDA. \nSuppliers wishing to attend the online webinar, should use the following link to register for the event and join the discussion: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/b168a252-5093-4bb6-9f35-04c2cd41b7eb@a455b827-244f-4c97-b5b4-ce5d13b4d00c \nAttendance at the session is voluntary and will not affect a supplier’s ability to bid for the opportunities once the formal procurement process begins. There are no limits on the number of attendees from each supplier. \n2. In‑Person Engagement Event – Monday 9th March 2026 (Nottingham) \nThe in-person engagement event is aimed at suppliers who are interested in the TCN Service and/or TTAP Service procurement. DVSA will host an all-day in-person engagement event in Nottingham to enable more detailed discussion and market feedback on the DVSA’s requirements prior to procurement launch. After an introductory discussion around key cross-service themes, the morning session will be split into two separate workshops: \nTCN workshop: covering the Test Centre Network procurement and Service requirements in greater detail. \nTTAP workshop: covering the assessment platform procurement and Service requirements in greater detail. \nThese workshops will be facilitated by DVSA personnel involved in the specific procurement and they provide an opportunity for the market to clarify DVSA requirements and provide feedback ahead of the formal procurement activity. \nIn the afternoon, suppliers from both workshops will reconvene for a joint plenary session to discuss the cross‑cutting theme of Service implementation. \nGiven the focused nature of the workshop discussions, suppliers are encouraged to send delegates to the in-person engagement event who have the relevant knowledge, experience and understanding to contribute to the discussions. DVSA plan to limit the number of delegates attending the in-person engagement event to two delegates per supplier for each procurement, totaling a maximum number of delegates to 4 per supplier. \nThe exact location of the event in Nottingham is to be confirmed, and suppliers must register their interest and delegates for the event with DVSA through the Jaggaer eSourcing platform stating which delegates will be involved in which procurement specific workshop. Registered suppliers will receive confirmation of the event location. \nAny clarifications relating to the engagement events should be sent through the eSourcing platform. \nAttendance at the event is voluntary and will not affect a supplier’s ability to bid for the opportunities once the formal procurement process begins. \nFrom the start of the webinar, suppliers will be able to engage with the DVSA regarding the DVSA’s requirements using a Microsoft form to share comments and identify areas requiring further discussion during the in‑person engagement event. Any questions raised through the form will not be answered on an individual supplier basis but will be covered more generically on a topic-by-topic basis during the in-person engagement event. The form will remain open until 5pm on Tuesday 17th March to enable suppliers to provide thoughts and feedback to the DVSA. Any thoughts shared with the DVSA will be on a confidential basis, but the DVSA may use non-identifiable, supplier agnostic themes to respond to topic areas during the in-person event. DVSA responses in the in-person engagement event, alongside key areas of discussion in the event, will be made available to the wider market through the Jaggaer eSourcing platform to enable continued transparency.", "dueDate": "2026-03-23T23:59:59+00:00", "status": "scheduled" } ], "documents": [ { "id": "010381-2025", "documentType": "marketEngagementNotice", "noticeType": "UK2", "description": "Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender", "url": "https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/010381-2025", "datePublished": "2025-03-20T12:39:47Z", "format": "text/html" }, { "id": "010518-2025", "documentType": "marketEngagementNotice", "noticeType": "UK2", "description": "Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender", "url": "https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/010518-2025", "datePublished": "2025-03-20T16:53:06Z", "format": "text/html" }, { "id": "011543-2025", "documentType": "marketEngagementNotice", "noticeType": "UK2", "description": "Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender", "url": "https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/011543-2025", "datePublished": "2025-03-27T12:57:23Z", "format": "text/html" }, { "id": "011545-2025", "documentType": "marketEngagementNotice", "noticeType": "UK2", "description": "Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender", "url": "https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/011545-2025", "datePublished": "2025-03-27T12:58:33Z", "format": "text/html" }, { "id": "011546-2025", "documentType": "marketEngagementNotice", "noticeType": "UK2", "description": "Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender", "url": "https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/011546-2025", "datePublished": "2025-03-27T13:00:34Z", "format": "text/html" }, { "id": "013002-2025", "documentType": "marketEngagementNotice", "noticeType": "UK2", "description": "Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender", "url": "https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/013002-2025", "datePublished": "2025-04-04T10:30:00+01:00", "format": "text/html" }, { "id": "053110-2025", "documentType": "marketEngagementNotice", "noticeType": "UK2", "description": "Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender", "url": "https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053110-2025", "datePublished": "2025-09-02T12:12:37+01:00", "format": "text/html" }, { "id": "053383-2025", "documentType": "marketEngagementNotice", "noticeType": "UK2", "description": "Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender", "url": "https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053383-2025", "datePublished": "2025-09-03T09:33:47+01:00", "format": "text/html" }, { "id": "054179-2025", "documentType": "marketEngagementNotice", "noticeType": "UK2", "description": "Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender", "url": "https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/054179-2025", "datePublished": "2025-09-05T10:32:21+01:00", "format": "text/html" }, { "id": "056933-2025", "documentType": "marketEngagementNotice", "noticeType": "UK2", "description": "Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender", "url": "https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/056933-2025", "datePublished": "2025-09-16T12:51:54+01:00", "format": "text/html" }, { "id": "078188-2025", "documentType": "marketEngagementNotice", "noticeType": "UK2", "description": "Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender", "url": "https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/078188-2025", "datePublished": "2025-11-28T15:26:29Z", "format": "text/html" }, { "id": "015156-2026", "documentType": "marketEngagementNotice", "noticeType": "UK2", "description": "Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender", "url": "https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/015156-2026", "datePublished": "2026-02-19T11:30:35Z", "format": "text/html" }, { "id": "015161-2026", "documentType": "marketEngagementNotice", "noticeType": "UK2", "description": "Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender", "url": "https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/015161-2026", "datePublished": "2026-02-19T11:37:30Z", "format": "text/html" } ] }, "tender": { "id": "T280023000, T280023001, T280023002", "legalBasis": { "id": "2023/54", "scheme": "UKPGA", "uri": "https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents" }, "title": "Theory Test Services", "description": "The Authority is procuring a TCN Supplier in each regional Lot to deliver the Theory Test Centre Network (TCN) Service, providing secure and accessible front end test delivery for all theory test types across Great Britain and Northern Ireland. DVSA are procuring, and contracting for, the service on behalf of the Driver and Vehicle Agency (DVA) in Northern Ireland. The Service must deliver a fully compliant Test Centre estate that meets the Authority’s 40/40 accessibility requirement, ensuring all Candidates are located within 40 minutes (urban) or 40 miles (rural) of a test centre in each region. In Northern Ireland, mandatory test centre provision is required in Ballymena, Belfast, Londonderry, Omagh, Portadown and Newry. All proposed sites will require Authority approval during implementation.\nThe TCN Supplier will be responsible for providing a responsive scheduling system offering a real time, six month forward view of test availability to the Authority’s booking systems, reflecting test duration, demand and test type requirements. The Service includes delivery of on-site invigilation to maintain test integrity; detection and deterrence of fraud; and support for incident reporting and investigative activity integrating with Authority systems.\nThe TCN Supplier must provide all necessary infrastructure and technology within each test centre, including secure hardware and software, on premises server capability, resilient network connectivity, CCTV, and sufficient equipment to deliver all standard and non-standard test adjustments for candidates with additional needs. The Service must support Welsh language options, voiceovers, British Sign Language (BSL), and—where applicable—additional language voiceovers in Northern Ireland. TCN Suppliers must also deliver approved Non Standard Adjustments including extra time, separate testing rooms, adapted equipment, signers, interpreters, language modifiers, readers, recorders, audio requirements (NI only), and home testing (not remote proctoring) where authorised.\nMulti client test sites are permitted provided they do not impede delivery of the Authority’s requirements and only with Authority approval. The TCN Service excludes delivery of tests in In House Theory Test Centres (IHTTCs).\nFurther details of the scope are contained in the procurement documents (which include the draft contract), which are available on the Jaggaer portal.\nLotting:\nThe TCN Service is packaged into three regional Lots of broadly equivalent historic and forecast test volumes based on Government Office Region geographies: \n•\tRegion 1: includes the Government Office Regions of Scotland, North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber and Northern Ireland. \n•\tRegion 2: includes the Government Office Regions of Wales, West Midlands, South East and South West. \n•\tRegion 3: includes the Government Office Regions of East Midlands, East of England and London.\nThe Authority is seeking to appoint a different TCN Supplier in each regional Lot at contract award stage to develop a more diversified supply base. However, there is no limit on the number of Lots that a supplier can bid for. In certain circumstances, where defined objective eligibility and value for money criteria are met, a supplier may be awarded a maximum of two regional Lots, while a one-Lot cap applies where such criteria are not met. The detail of this is set out in the contract award mechanism in the procurement documents.\nAdditional Services: \nThe Authority has identified several potential future developments that may be explored through the regional contracts and in the delivery of the TCN Service. These Additional Services fall within the overall scope of the contract and may, where required, be implemented through the contract’s change control procedure. The Authority is therefore clearly signalling these areas to the market at this stage, and further detail is available in the procurement documents. \nThe Additional Services are:\n•\tExploring remote testing/proctoring technology in the delivery of the Service.\n•\tExploring the use of end‑to‑end cloud architecture in the delivery of the Service.\n•\tAdding other Authority or Department for

Online Webinar – Wednesday 25 February 2026 @ 15:00 – 16:00 \nThe webinar is aimed at suppliers who are interested in the TCN Service and/or TTAP Service procurement. This virtual session, hosted on Microsoft Teams, will provide suppliers with an update on the programme’s direction and the planned procurement approach and timelines alongside an overview of the DVSA’s implementation and Service requirements and the interaction between DVSA, the TCN Service and the TTAP Service. The aim of the webinar is to provide suppliers with an updated view of the Service requirements and planned procurement activity to set the context for more detailed face-to-face discussions at an in-person engagement event in March (see below). After the webinar the DVSA plans to make draft material available to the market to consider ahead of the in-person engagement event. Any suppliers who wish to access the material must sign and return the non-disclosure agreement (NDA) that will be made available immediately after the webinar.The materials and NDA form will be available via the Jaggaer e-sourcing platform, and the NDA must be returned via the messages function in the platform. Please note that suppliers who are unable to attend the webinar and/or the in-person engagement event will still be given the opportunity to access the documentation provided that they agree to the NDA. \nSuppliers wishing to attend the online webinar, should use the following link to register for the event and join the discussion: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/b168a252-5093-4bb6-9f35-04c2cd41b7eb@a455b827-244f-4c97-b5b4-ce5d13b4d00c \nAttendance at the session is voluntary and will not affect a supplier’s ability to bid for the opportunities once the formal procurement process begins. There are no limits on the number of attendees from each supplier. \n2. In‑Person Engagement Event – Monday 9th March 2026 (Nottingham) \nThe in-person engagement event is aimed at suppliers who are interested in the TCN Service and/or TTAP Service procurement. DVSA will host an all-day in-person engagement event in Nottingham to enable more detailed discussion and market feedback on the DVSA’s requirements prior to procurement launch. After an introductory discussion around key cross-service themes, the morning session will be split into two separate workshops: \nTCN workshop: covering the Test Centre Network procurement and Service requirements in greater detail. \nTTAP workshop: covering the assessment platform procurement and Service requirements in greater detail. \nThese workshops will be facilitated by DVSA personnel involved in the specific procurement and they provide an opportunity for the market to clarify DVSA requirements and provide feedback ahead of the formal procurement activity. \nIn the afternoon, suppliers from both workshops will reconvene for a joint plenary session to discuss the cross‑cutting theme of Service implementation. \nGiven the focused nature of the workshop discussions, suppliers are encouraged to send delegates to the in-person engagement event who have the relevant knowledge, experience and understanding to contribute to the discussions. DVSA plan to limit the number of delegates attending the in-person engagement event to two delegates per supplier for each procurement, totaling a maximum number of delegates to 4 per supplier. \nThe exact location of the event in Nottingham is to be confirmed, and suppliers must register their interest and delegates for the event with DVSA through the Jaggaer eSourcing platform stating which delegates will be involved in which procurement specific workshop. Registered suppliers will receive confirmation of the event location. \nAny clarifications relating to the engagement events should be sent through the eSourcing platform. \nAttendance at the event is voluntary and will not affect a supplier’s ability to bid for the opportunities once the formal procurement process begins. \nFrom the start of the webinar, suppliers will be able to engage with the DVSA regarding the DVSA’s requirements using a Microsoft form to share comments and identify areas requiring further discussion during the in‑person engagement event. Any questions raised through the form will not be answered on an individual supplier basis but will be covered more generically on a topic-by-topic basis during the in-person engagement event. The form will remain open until 5pm on Tuesday 17th March to enable suppliers to provide thoughts and feedback to the DVSA. Any thoughts shared with the DVSA will be on a confidential basis, but the DVSA may use non-identifiable, supplier agnostic themes to respond to topic areas during the in-person event. DVSA responses in the in-person engagement event, alongside key areas of discussion in the event, will be made available to the wider market through the Jaggaer eSourcing platform to enable continued transparency." } ], "dueDate": [ { "releaseID": "010381-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-03-20T12:39:47Z", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "2025-04-05T23:59:59+01:00" }, { "releaseID":

The Test is made up of two test elements, the Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQ) and Hazard Perception Test (HPT). It is the largest e-assessment in the UK, undertaking at present approximately 3.6 million tests per annum. \nThe service contains 16 different types of Theory Test, including: Car, Motorcycle, Large Goods Vehicles, Passenger Carrying Vehicles, Certificate of Professional Competence, Approved Driving Instructor (ADI), Enhance Rider Scheme, Examiner Car. Encompassed further within this are the additional testing types within the Northern Ireland Driver and Vehicle Agency (DVA) service, which are Taxi, ADI and Approved Motorcycle Instructor tests." }, { "releaseID": "031556-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-04-07T15:12:20+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "tender" ], "value": "The Authority is procuring a TCN Supplier in each regional Lot to deliver the Theory Test Centre Network (TCN) Service, providing secure and accessible front end test delivery for all theory test types across Great Britain and Northern Ireland. DVSA are procuring, and contracting for, the service on behalf of the Driver and Vehicle Agency (DVA) in Northern Ireland. The Service must deliver a fully compliant Test Centre estate that meets the Authority’s 40/40 accessibility requirement, ensuring all Candidates are located within 40 minutes (urban) or 40 miles (rural) of a test centre in each region. In Northern Ireland, mandatory test centre provision is required in Ballymena, Belfast, Londonderry, Omagh, Portadown and Newry. All proposed sites will require Authority approval during implementation.\nThe TCN Supplier will be responsible for providing a responsive scheduling system offering a real time, six month forward view of test availability to the Authority’s booking systems, reflecting test duration, demand and test type requirements. The Service includes delivery of on-site invigilation to maintain test integrity; detection and deterrence of fraud; and support for incident reporting and investigative activity integrating with Authority systems.\nThe TCN Supplier must provide all necessary infrastructure and technology within each test centre, including secure hardware and software, on premises server capability, resilient network connectivity, CCTV, and sufficient equipment to deliver all standard and non-standard test adjustments for candidates with additional needs. The Service must support Welsh language options, voiceovers, British Sign Language (BSL), and—where applicable—additional language voiceovers in Northern Ireland. TCN Suppliers must also deliver approved Non Standard Adjustments including extra time, separate testing rooms, adapted equipment, signers, interpreters, language modifiers, readers, recorders, audio requirements (NI only), and home testing (not remote proctoring) where authorised.\nMulti client test sites are permitted provided they do not impede delivery of the Authority’s requirements and only with Authority approval. The TCN Service excludes delivery of tests in In House Theory Test Centres (IHTTCs).\nFurther details of the scope are contained in the procurement documents (which include the draft contract), which are available on the Jaggaer portal.\nLotting:\nThe TCN Service is packaged into three regional Lots of broadly equivalent historic and forecast test volumes based on Government Office Region geographies: \n•\tRegion 1: includes the Government Office Regions of Scotland, North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber and Northern Ireland. \n•\tRegion 2: includes the Government Office Regions of Wales, West Midlands, South East and South West. \n•\tRegion 3: includes the Government Office Regions of East Midlands, East of England and London.\nThe Authority is seeking to appoint a different TCN Supplier in each regional Lot at contract award stage to develop a more diversified supply base. However, there is no limit on the number of Lots that a supplier can bid for. In certain circumstances, where defined objective eligibility and value for money criteria are met, a supplier may be awarded a maximum of two regional Lots, while a one-Lot cap applies where such criteria are not met. The detail of this is set out in the contract award mechanism in the procurement documents.\nAdditional Services: \nThe Authority has identified several potential future developments that may be explored through the regional contracts and in the delivery of the TCN Service. These Additional Services fall within the overall scope of the contract and may, where required, be implemented through the contract’s change control procedure. The Authority is therefore clearly signalling these areas to the market at this stage, and further detail is available in the procurement documents. \nThe Additional Services are:\n•\tExploring remote testing/proctoring technology in the delivery of the Service.\n•\tExploring the use of end‑to‑end cloud architecture in the delivery of the Service.\n•\tAdding other Authority or Department for Transport tests into Service delivery.\n•\tAdding wider government tests into Service delivery.\n•\tEnabling validation of Digital Driving Licences.\n•\tEnhanced identification checking.\nKey
