Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process described involves the Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority as the buying organisation. The contract, titled "Fire Safety & Risk Management Training Services," falls within the industry category of safety training services. The procurement was conducted for services to be delivered at Merseyside Fire & Rescue Services TDA premises, located in the UKD7 region. This particular process is at the award stage, having been completed with the contract signed on 27th June 2025. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure without prior publication, conducted under the YPO DPS 999 Framework for training services, which suggests it was a call-off contract specifically tailored for training services.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in safety and risk management training. Companies with expertise in these areas, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), might find suitable prospects for growth by engaging in such training services. Given that the awarded supplier, WJB Training & Consultancy Services Ltd, is an SME, it indicates that the competition was open to smaller firms prepared to meet the specific criteria for service provision. Moreover, the procurement method ensures that businesses can potentially secure contracts through frameworks without needing to go through a full, open competition, making it accessible for specialised services. The option for an extension by one additional year further creates continuing growth opportunities for successful bidders in similar future procurements.
