Summary of the contracting process

Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service, in collaboration with South Wales Fire and Rescue Service and North Wales Fire and Rescue Service, has concluded the procurement process for a framework agreement for instructor training courses. Categorised under the emergency services industry, this initiative focuses on tactical ventilation, compartment fire behaviour, and breathing apparatus instructor training. This contract, located primarily within the UK (regions UK and UKL), has moved to the award stage with contracts active since 4th March 2025. Key locations for service delivery include various training provider venues and the Earlswood Training Delivery Department in Neath Port Talbot. The procurement process was conducted through an open procedure with the initial tender announced on 1st May 2024, and subsequent updates including an extended deadline on 19th June 2024 for compliance with new decontamination standards. The total contract value is £650,000 GBP.

This tender presents considerable business opportunities for companies specialising in emergency services training, particularly those experienced in providing specialised instructor programs. The awarded supplier, RED ONE LTD, is an SME, demonstrating that small to medium-sized enterprises with the necessary expertise and competitive pricing structures have strong potential to secure government contracts. Additionally, businesses capable of delivering high-quality training components, as evaluated by a cost-quality balance (50% cost, 40% quality), would be well-suited to thrive under such frameworks. The structured nature of public procurement frameworks ensures that winning suppliers can expect a stable financial influx and foster long-term partnerships with multiple fire and rescue services across Wales.
