What the notice says

The Department for Transport is inviting expressions of interest for a potential future procurement of 2 data products: One includes the purchase of granular vehicle pricing data, providing information on historic vehicle prices. This will also detail information related to vehicle incentives and discounts that may be offered by manufacturers, dealership or government, as part of a financing or promotional deal. The second is a VIN decoder. A VIN is a unique code which is used by automobile manufacturers to identify individual vehicles. DfT is looking to procure a decoder that, when provided with a unique VIN, will provide information covering the manufacturer, make, model, trim, model year and plant assembly location.
