Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire has concluded the procurement process for the provision of an Ultra High Pressure Instructor Course designated for the Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service. This contract falls under the 'services' industry category with a focus on training services (CPV code 80500000) and serves regions UKF24 and UKF25 in the United Kingdom. The procurement, conducted through a direct method below threshold without competition, was recently awarded on 16th March 2026. The contract, valued at £15,000 net with a gross amount of £18,000, spans from 2nd March 2026 to 1st March 2027, having been signed the day prior to its commencement.

This tender presents significant opportunities for training service providers, especially those specialising in emergency services or firefighting courses. Given that Coldcut Systems Ltd has been awarded the contract, businesses with expertise in delivering specialised instructor training within public safety sectors may find similar opportunities by catering to specific, highly-focused needs such as ultra high-pressure systems.
