Summary of the contracting process

The Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Cefas) has completed a public procurement process titled "CEFAS24-62 Contract for provision of services to deliver Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) training." The contract, classified under specialist training services (CPV: 80510000), aimed to provide COSHH training for Cefas staff. The procurement was conducted as a direct, single-tender action, reflecting its below-threshold nature, and spanned various geographical locations including the UK and other regions worldwide. Key dates include the tender period ending on 1 March 2024, and the contract period extending from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2026. The final contract was awarded on 25 March 2024 to Integral HSE Ltd, with a contract value of £42,000 GBP, indicating an increase from the initial value estimation of £30,000 GBP.

This tender provides significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which were noted as suitable for the contract. The specialised nature of the training services required means that businesses with expertise in health and safety, particularly those experienced in hazardous substances management, are well-positioned to compete. The direct procurement method indicates a streamlined process suitable for businesses capable of quickly responding to specific training needs, enabling them to secure ongoing contracts with government departments like Cefas. This creates potential for both expanding their client base and enhancing their portfolio in providing specialist training services.
