The selection of test premises for the provision of a car testing service was a matter for the successful contractor subject to compliance with the requirements of the tender specification for the contract. These requirements included that each test centre should be located within 30 miles of 90% of the car owners for whom it is the nearest centre, within or close to a large town served by national roads, satisfy certain standards regarding building facilities, design and services, and meet all relevant statutory requirements including safety, health and welfare regulations.
