Summary of the contracting process

Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council procured specialist fire and rescue service training apprenticeships for the Fire and Rescue Service Team at Doncaster Sheffield Airport. The requirement is for a provider to deliver specialist training courses, rather than general airport or emergency-response services. The procurement is categorised as training services and the delivery location is in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Fire Service College Leisure Centre. The award date was 1 October 2026, at a value of £86,680. The contract period runs from 4 January 2027 to 3 January 2029. The council used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 14 September 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. The published procurement information does not set out evaluation criteria, so the basis on which bids were assessed cannot be stated.

This award shows demand from Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council for specialist fire and rescue training apprenticeships serving the team at Doncaster Sheffield Airport. A credible competitor when this requirement next reaches the market would need to deliver relevant specialist fire and rescue training courses and support apprenticeship provision for a fire and rescue service team. The selected provider, Fire Service College Leisure Centre, is identified as a small or medium-sized business, indicating that a supplier of that scale has delivered the requirement. The procurement route was a framework call-off, so experience of supplying through a suitable framework would be relevant to competing for the same work. The opportunity concerns a focused training service for this buyer, rather than broader airport operations or generic training.
