Overview

The Theory Test Assessment Platform (TTAP) underpins the digital delivery of DVSA’s Theory Test Service and includes a Content Management System (CMS) for creating and maintaining the theory test question bank (with version control and secure configuration of question packs). It provides an assessment platform managing the end‑to‑end test lifecycle: ingesting booking data and securely transmitting it to test centres; delivering the correct test to candidates; and forwarding results to DVSA’s CRM.

The platform produces detailed candidate interaction data for reporting, performance analysis, and fraud detection, and includes regular security updates and operational management. The service includes continuous improvement and innovation in collaboration with DVSA and supports both the national Test Centre Network (TCN) and In‑House Theory Test Centres (IHTTCs).

Additional Services: The Authority has identified several potential future developments that may be explored during the lifetime of the Contract. These Additional Services fall within the overall scope of the procurement and may, where required, be implemented through the Contract’s Change Control Procedure.
