Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cleveland Fire Authority procured LGV driver training services for its operational requirements. The requirement covers a driver training programme, with delivery associated with the authority in Hartlepool and activity across the United Kingdom. The service is a specialist training provision rather than the supply of vehicles or general fleet management. The selected supplier, Teesside LGV Training Ltd, is based in Middlesbrough and is identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The procurement was connected to the authority’s fleet management arrangements, so relevant suppliers are likely to be organisations able to provide structured training for large goods vehicle drivers and support a public-sector fleet operator. The requirement was treated as a services procurement and was arranged through the YPO1117 fleet management framework.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Cleveland Fire Authority awarded the requirement to Teesside LGV Training Ltd following a further competition under the YPO1117 fleet management framework. The award route was a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition; one bid was received, and price was the stated evaluation criterion. The contract was signed on 1 June 2025 and has a value of £40,000. The procurement record shows an option for three extensions of 12 months, with the option period running up to 31 May 2029. The single lot is marked cancelled, although the associated award and contract are active. The procurement is therefore recorded as complete, with the selected supplier and contract outcome established.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for LGV driver training from Cleveland Fire Authority and shows that the buyer used a fleet management framework followed by a further competition. A supplier competing for a future requirement of this type would need to provide credible LGV driver training for a public-sector fleet, meet the buyer’s operational training needs and submit a competitive price, since price was the recorded award criterion. The incumbent is an SME based in Middlesbrough, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist training provider rather than only by a large national organisation. Businesses with relevant LGV training capability, experience supporting fleet operators and the ability to work through the YPO1117 framework route would be best placed to assess similar demand from this buyer.
