Tender description

As more and more of the alternative fuel propulsion system is encountered, DVSA need to ensure that all inspection staff, be it roadside or at periodic technical inspection, can deal with both Hybrid and Electric vehicles safely. DVSA inspection staff therefore require training to provide awareness of the systems and the dangers involved inherent with the design of such vehicles. The type of inspections that DVSA staff are required to undertake are mainly visual inspections for Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGV) and Public Service Vehicles (PSV) which includes inspecting the safety aspects as per the safety manual. There may also be a requirement for some specialist and hands on interrogation too. DVSA has awarded a contract to procure services for a supplier to deliver a nationally recognised qualification, Level 2 to all inspection staff (approximately 1 100 staff) on the safe inspection of Hybrid and Electric vehicles.
