Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the Lancashire Combined Fire Authority involves the King's Trust Residential Training Programmes. This initiative focuses on creating a positive learning environment for young people through structured programmes that incorporate team-building activities. The programme falls under the "education and training services" category and is scheduled to run from January 2026, with multiple course dates across the year and potential extensions. The process has reached the award stage, with a contract awarded to Lancashire Outdoor Activities Initiative. The procurement was carried out through an open procedure, reflecting transparency and competitiveness. The courses will be conducted across various locations in the UK.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, especially for organisations experienced in delivering educational and team-building services. Companies specialising in residential training, activity-based learning, and youth programmes are well-suited to compete. The open procurement method suggests a preference for a competitive selection process, which can encourage small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to participate actively. By collaborating on such initiatives, businesses can expand their service offerings and establish partnerships with public authorities.
