Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process managed by the Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner for Staffordshire revolved around a contract for "Fire Safety Training," adhering to the NFCC Competency Framework for Fire Safety Regulators. The procurement falls under the services industry category, specifically safety training services, and the location involved is the United Kingdom. This process has reached the Award stage, with the contract being signed on 3rd November 2025, and the contract term beginning on 1st March 2026 and concluding on 28th February 2027. Notably, the procurement method was direct, below the threshold, without competition, allowing for a straightforward award process to the chosen supplier.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in safety training to expand their portfolio, particularly those focusing on regulatory compliance training services. Large enterprises equipped to deliver comprehensive fire safety training programmes would be well-suited to engage, considering the substantial contract value of £94,267 gross (£78,556 net). Although the tender was completed through a direct award to Xact Consultancy & Training Ltd, similar future contracts can benefit businesses that offer niche, specialized training services aimed at public authorities within sub-central government levels like that of Staffordshire's Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner.
