Notice Title

ECC035 - Supply of CPC Training for CPC Accredited Drivers

Notice Description

Teesside LGV Training Ltd is recognised as one of the biggest specialist training providers for driver training and fleet compliance in the region. They are the only approved NRI (National Register of LGV Instructors) Driving Centre in Teesside, and the only driving training establishment with its own DVSA-approved test centre on-site. They are a member of the Road Haulage Association (RHA) and approved by over 13 other key regulatory bodies, including the DVSA, RTITB, NRI, RHA, FTA, JAUPT and SQA Fleet Services need to procure bespoke driver CPC training following a Traffic Commissioner Operator Compliance audit following the issue of a Prohibition Notice. TLGV have offered to build bespoke CPC accredited training courses aimed specifically at addressing some of the shortcomings identified within the compliance audit with regard to driver training. They are a local business and have already provided driver training and fleet compliance programmes for Middlesbrough Council. Failure to ensure we maintain CPC driver training puts us at risk of non-compliance with statutory requirements which will expose the Council to potential enforcement action by the Traffic Commissioner or other regulatory authorities.
