Notice Title

Fire Safety Course

Notice Description

The LFB's main Fire safety training contract is currently held with Xact. Xact currently provide Fire Safety qualifications Level 3, Level 4, and a Level 4 Diploma in Fire Safety. Since the implementation of this contract, there has been a change in the built environment, as a result - the LFB need to increase the number of qualified staff. Any further variations to the existing contract will lead to an increase in price that exceeds 50% of the value of the original contract which renders a new procurement procedure. The STA will act as a contingency buffer to train existing staff awaiting training. This contract will run concurrently with our existing Xact contract. The future objective is to run a competitive tender process to source a suitable training provider by 2023 to support the Fire Safety department to meet their statutory requirements. LFB intends to award a contract, subject to a 10-day standstill period, without prior publication of a contract notice. In compliance with the Public Contract Regulations 2015, all awards of contracts that are subject to European Procurement Directives are subject to a mandatory "standstill" period of at least 10 days. A Contract cannot be entered into with the preferred provider until at least the eleventh calendar day following notification. This would not prevent continuing discussions with the preferred provider to ensure prompt mobilisation. The standstill period is expected to end at midnight at the end of 01/02/2023. If steps are taken during this period to suggest that there may be a formal legal challenge to this award, or LFB determines an issue/concern with the process or preferred submission, then the contract award may be suspended until the matter is resolved (or not concluded if the matter cannot be resolved). Subject to no legal challenge being received, the LFB intends to execute the Contract at the conclusion of the standstill period.
