What You Get

Your report and action plan

You receive a written report explaining the findings and their supporting evidence, with priorities and recommended actions. Where colour ratings are used, they indicate the review's assessment of action priority; they are not an official DVSA rating or OCRS score.

The findings meeting gives you and your transport manager or responsible person the opportunity to discuss the report and decide how to take the actions forward.

Your report includes:

  • Agreed scope confirmed at the outset
  • Review of all relevant records and processes within scope
  • Written findings linked to the evidence reviewed
  • Priorities explained in plain English
  • An action plan with recommended timescales
  • A findings discussion with you and your team
  • Identification of any limitations or matters for further verification
Pricing

Quoted to your operation

Audits are quoted according to fleet size, operating centres, review scope, record volume and whether a site visit is required. The fee and included follow-up are agreed before work begins. Any additional corrective work is quoted separately.

There are no packages or set prices imposed before understanding your operation. Tell me about your fleet, your situation and what you need, and you will receive a clear written quotation.
