This PQ response is further to a previous PQ response:

Since the response to the previous PQ was given, it has been identified that the information provided was incorrect and a correction is currently being arranged.

DVSA previously reported that they had 2 procurements which took more than 1 year and have now reported that they had 3 procurements which took more than 1 year, details of which have been included within this PQ response.
