Description
The DVSA is appointing a supplier for Region A: Scotland, Northern Ireland, North West, North East, Yorkshire and Humberside. The current Theory Test contract covering this area expires on the 3rd September 2021 with the replacement TCN Service coming into effect from 4th September 2021 as part of the Future Theory Test Service (FTTS). The contract is for an implementation period followed by 5 years and renewal options of up to 24 months. The total estimated value of the contract for Lot 1 is £73,600,000 (this value is calculated based on the forecast upper volume limits and assumes the maximum term). Please note that in the event of cross contract step-in rights being exercised by DVSA (i.e. a contractor for another TCN region taking on all or part of this contract) the value of the services (or part thereof) of the contract awarded for this Lot subject to such cross contract step-in, will be deemed to have transferred over to the contract with the contractor for the other TCN region that steps in.
