Summary of the contracting process

Hereford and Worcester Fire Authority procured a licence-based subscription to digital training content for UKRO training. The material focuses on operational response to road traffic collisions, supporting the authority’s emergency response training requirements. This is a services opportunity combining a training software package and e-learning services, with CPV classifications 48931000 and 80420000. The awarded service is intended for use across multiple UK areas, rather than at a single named site. The buyer is a public fire authority based in Worcester. The requirement is therefore relevant to providers of specialist digital learning platforms, online training content and subscription-based operational or emergency-services training resources.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. One lot was awarded to ResDigital, an SME, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 29 July 2026 and is valued at £6,000 excluding VAT, or £7,200 including VAT. The initial contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. It is an annual subscription reviewed annually, with renewal permitted for up to three years and a maximum end date of 31 August 2029. The requirement was evaluated through the buyer’s direct-award route rather than a competitive tender.

This award demonstrates demand from a fire authority for subscription-based digital training focused on operational road traffic collision response. Suppliers competing for similar future requirements would need credible, current training content that reflects emergency-service operational practice, together with a dependable e-learning platform capable of supporting licensed users. The ability to provide structured online learning for a specialist workforce is central to the requirement, as is delivering the service across multiple UK areas. Relevant providers are likely to include specialist emergency-response training companies, e-learning publishers, training software suppliers and digital-content businesses able to maintain an annual subscription service and refresh material as operational requirements develop.
