Desk Based Assessment Questionnaire - DBAQ

In the post-COVID-19 world, the Driver Vehicles Standards Agency (DVSA) has also changed its tact on how to test the compliance levels of vehicle operator entities.

Recently the Commissioner's office introduced a Desk Based Assessment Questionnaire (DBAQ), this is a comprehensive look into business compliance, the DBAQ is far-reaching and detailed, hence if you receive an email requesting this assessment.

Don’t take this request lightly, act quickly and set aside circa 40+ hours to complete the response.Answer the questions fully with substantive evidence and request extra time if required.

The DVSA officer will give 14 days to reply to the email and replies have to be sent electronically, which can be a difficult, as the email attachment size is limited, and the Commissioner's Office does not accept cloud solutions (One Drive, Google Drive or DropBox), hence probably sending multiple emails may be the only solution.

The DBAQ is made up of 20 different sections and requires the following information at a minimum:

Vehicle Management

  • All Preventative Maintenance Inspection (PMI) records and associated records and printouts.

  • All Driver Defect Reports (DDRs) that record defects, and rectification details.

  • All records of interim inspections, repairs and maintenance carried out between planned safety inspections.

Traffic Management

  • All drivers’ hours/tachograph records.Important: Send the raw data downloaded from both the driver cards and vehicleunits that have been driven by the selected drivers during this period.

  • Where tachograph records are used supply the analysis summaries for the statedreference period.

  • Working time records for the last completed reference period in accordance with theprovisions of the Road Transport (Working Time) Regulations 2005.

  • Copies (front and back) of the current driving licence and driver CPC.

If you require help with preparing a robust reply, please contact us urgently.
