    "description": "DVSA is seeking a single supplier to provide calibration services for 6 different pieces of equipment that is used by different areas of DVSA staff. The Market Surveillance Unit (MSU) under the direction of Department for Transport (DfT) are required to test Electric Bike\u2019s and Scooters that come onto the market to ensure they are fit for road use. This comprises of the Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycle (EAPC) work programme and establish non-compliance against suspected products and companies. The testing equipment was provided with standalone IT equipment which does not require connecting to DVSA network or require servicing via DVSA\u2019s current IT service provider. \nFurther testing equipment was then purchased for expanding markets and further programme expectations and requirements assigned to MSU by DfT. This included additional rollers/tracks to allow for testing of other types of electric cycle, such as 3 or 4 wheeled \u2018cargo\u2019 cycles, which are becoming increasingly more prevalent in the marketplace. MSU are required to enforce against any non-compliant vehicles, and the evidence gained from testing such vehicles against regulatory standards is imperative to the investigations. The additional e-scooter extensions are also essential as MSU continues its investigations into companies that supply electric scooters through a work programme allocated by DfT. Failure to ensure the calibrations and safety standards are upheld could have legal and health implications.\nTo complete this work various pieces of equipment within the equipment they use need either yearly or Bi-Yearly calibration, these are:\n\u2022\tIsolation Amplifiers \n\u2022\tTemperature Probes\n\u2022\tCurrent Transducers\n\u2022\tTorque Sensors\nPost Collision Examinations (PCE) are carried out by DVSA Enforcement staff that have been specifically trained to carry out investigations on behalf of local Police Forces in their particular Area, when major Road Traffic Accidents have occurred. Fully calibrated equipment will be needed should these findings be presented in a Court of Law.\nAt the time of going out to tender there are 8 staff within the Enforcement directorate that will have the following equipment that will need calibrating every year:\n\u2022\tTyre Pressure Gauge\n\u2022\tAir Tank Gauges\nThis particular equipment will need to be calibrated in line with ISO 17025 and they are undertaking the process of having this certified.",
