Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cleveland Fire Authority procured fire protection training for Cleveland Fire Brigade. The requirement covers Level 3 to Level 5 fire protection courses, with additional ad hoc courses. The buyer’s stated delivery arrangement gives the primary supplier most of the courses, with a second supplier available to provide additional capacity or cover dates and specific service requirements the primary supplier cannot meet. The procurement is therefore for specialist training provision rather than fire protection equipment or installation work. Delivery is associated with the UK, and the authority is based in Hartlepool. The selected suppliers are based in Lancaster and Worcestershire, respectively.

The procurement is complete. Cleveland Fire Authority ran a restricted procedure as a further competition through the YPO999 framework. Three bids were recorded. Price was the stated evaluation criterion. Compass Skills Training Limited was selected as primary supplier to deliver most courses; Xact Consultancy & Training Ltd was selected as secondary supplier to provide capacity when required. Each has a separate active contract valued at £70,000. Both contracts were signed on 22 September 2026. The contract period is not stated in the published data; the procurement terms allow for a possible two-year extension. The lot is marked cancelled, while both awards and contracts are active, so the data records active supplier contracts alongside a cancelled lot status.

For a future requirement from Cleveland Fire Authority, credible suppliers would need to deliver structured fire protection training across Levels 3 to 5, as well as respond to ad hoc course needs. The buyer’s arrangement shows that dependable scheduling and the ability to cover dates when another provider cannot are commercially important, alongside capacity to support delivery across the training programme. Providers with a specialist fire protection training offer and the resources to handle both planned courses and additional requests would be well placed. This is a services contract awarded through competition under an existing framework, with price as the recorded evaluation basis. The two selected providers indicate that the buyer values both a main delivery partner and a supplier able to provide backup capacity.
