UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The College of Policing Limited commissioned specialist personnel-training services from the Fire Service College Limited. The scope covers three areas: working at height, confined-space operations, and hostile-environment training incorporating hazardous-material elements. The training supports personnel who need to work safely in difficult, dangerous or controlled operational settings. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The buyer is a public authority based in Coventry, while the awarded supplier is a large training organisation based in London. This requirement is primarily relevant to providers of vocational, operational or emergency-services training with the facilities, instructors and safety controls needed for practical work at height, confined-space and hostile-environment scenarios.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition, under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to Fire Service College Limited. The contract was signed on 24 June 2026 and runs from 6 July 2026 to 14 August 2026. Its value is £242,026, with a gross value of £290,431.20, in GBP. The award is active and the contract is active. The evaluation route was therefore a direct award rather than a competitive tender. The contract covers personnel-training services for the full requirement: working at height, confined space and hostile-environment training with hazardous-material elements. The published outcome identifies Fire Service College Limited as the selected supplier.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear reference point for suppliers tracking the College of Policing’s demand for specialist operational training. A credible future competitor would need to deliver working-at-height, confined-space and hostile-environment training, including hazardous-material elements, rather than offering general classroom provision alone. Relevant capability is likely to include suitably experienced instructors, practical training environments, robust health and safety arrangements, and the capacity to serve a UK-wide public-sector requirement. Providers with established experience training personnel for emergency, police, fire or other high-risk operational settings would be well placed to demonstrate relevance. The buyer’s use of a direct below-threshold route also indicates that suppliers should monitor its purchasing activity and understand the requirements for this specific specialist training scope.
