DVSA will continue to reduce the volume of its Government Vehicle Testing Station (GVTS) Estates in accordance with observed incremental growth rate in the Authorised Testing Facilities (ATF’s) market and moving the Individual Vehicle Approval (IVA) scheme out to privately owned sites called Vehicle Examination Facilities (VEF’s). This move was set up to bring the work that DVSA conduct closer to Vehicle Operators and Vehicle Maintainers; by encouraging private individuals and entrepreneurs to set up an ATF’s and/or VEFs for private and public use. This was a strategic and positive shift in the way DVSA conducts its vehicle testing business. 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 DVSA’s GVTS and Enforcement sites network throughout Great Britain. Due to the complexity of the how sites will be closed it is not possible at this time to disclose the location of the equipment and when it will require decommissioning. The equipment that DVSA will require to be decommissioned in a safe manner to enable it to be re-sold comprises of, but not limited to: Roller Brake Testers (for light vehicles, heavy vehicles and motorcycles) Headlight Testers Speedrollers 4 Post Lifts Motorcycle Lifts ### Pit Jacks Air Compressors ### Load Simulators ### Wheel Play Detectors Exhaust Extraction Units ### Emission Testers Cabin Pressurisation Units Read full description ## CPV classification Decommissioning services Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-056374-2026-04-02T12:14:01+01:00 [View official notice](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-056374-2026-04-02T12:14:01+01:00) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
