Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process for "Residential Outdoor Team Building Training Services" was led by the Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority, a regional authority based in Bootle, United Kingdom. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically targeting personal development training services, classified under CPV code 80570000. The procurement method used was limited, with an award procedure executed without prior competitive publication, as it was considered outside the directive's scope. The procurement process utilised a call off contract under YPO's established DPS Framework, Category 25. The contract commenced on 1st September 2025 and was awarded to Boulder Adventures Limited, valued at £120,000. Though the tender process is complete, it included the potential for a one-year extension option. The primary delivery region for these services is located in UKD7.

This tender represents a notable opportunity for businesses focused on personal development training services, particularly those capable of offering residential outdoor team-building programmes. Such businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Boulder Adventures Limited, stand to benefit from engaging in similar contracts supported by public sector frameworks. The scale and nature of these contracts provide growth opportunities for SMEs looking to establish or expand their footprint in service provisions for public organisations. Potential contractors should have the flexibility to manage call off contracts and be prepared to fulfil requirements on an as-needed basis, enhancing their competitive edge in the procurement market.
