Work description
AWARD NOTICE
One of DVSA's main activities is roadside enforcement by which we ensure that heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) & public service vehicles (PSVs) are roadworthy and their drivers compliant with current driving standards.
The vehicle management system that DVSA have purchased to provide data on the mechanical condition of the vehicle, including being able to determine the date a defect occurred. This information may help examiners refute a drivers explanation that the defect was not present when they started the journey which will provide a more evidence based approach when reporting on failings in an Operator Maintenance System.
Roadside enforcement activity requires DVSA examiners to be equipped to identify the most serious and serially non-compliant operators in an effective and efficient manner.
Drivers and operators using ever increasingly complex and sophisticated methods to interfere with vehicle systems which are difficult to identify at the roadside.
