Description
The Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA), with the understanding of the Swedish Transport Agency (STA), invites submissions from Suppliers for the undertaking of light-duty vehicle emissions testing for the purposes of the "New In-Service Conformity (ISC) Methodology", introduced in Annex II (Part B) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1151, as amended by 2018/1832.
The Supplier will be required to source, examine and test up to 12 vehicles before 31 March 2021.
A review by the European Commission of the historical light-duty emissions In-Service Conformity (ISC) tests, previously only performed by the manufacturers, revealed that very few 'fails' were reported to type approval authorities. This is despite known emissions-related recall campaigns and other voluntary actions being implemented in-market.
In an attempt to increase the effectiveness of ISC, and improve the correlation between a manufacturer's ISC failure rates and in-market remedial actions, control has now also been given to Granting Type Approval Authorities (GTAAs) to perform ISC tests on a percentage of the approved vehicle emission types each year. The GTAA in this case is STA.
VCA and STA are responsible for selecting which vehicle types shall be tested each year for ISC. This is based on a risk assessment, supported by multiple data sources, to identify the vehicles that are most likely to "not comply with ISC rules". This pertains to the vehicle exceeding one or more of the Euro 6 pollutant emissions limits, as given in Regulation (EC) No 715/2007, in Type 1, 4, 6 or RDE tests.
VCA and STA do not currently have the facilities in order to perform light-duty emissions tests required for ISC. As a result, VCA and STA are seeking the services of a Supplier with these facilities to perform this work.
Suppliers will need to register to the Department for Transport's e-Souring Portal https://dft.app.jaggaer.com/web/login.html in order to access the tender pack, and to submit their bids.
