The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has launched a tender process for its legal panel to provide prosecution services and legal support.

An agency of the Department for Transport (DFT), the DVSA is responsible for enforcing various functions relating to road safety. Duties include carrying out tests to ensure buses and lorries are safe to drive, carrying out roadside checks on drivers and vehicles, carrying out driving tests, approving driving instructors and MOT testers, and monitoring vehicle recalls. It also detects offences that can result in prosecution in court.
