South Wales Fire and Rescue Service (SWFRS) has concluded the procurement process for a specialised training service, resulting in Sweden Outdoors Coaching being awarded the contract. This initiative is focused on providing Cold Weather Training Courses for ISAR technicians operating under extreme conditions, within Europe. The courses, set to run twice annually (January and February), will accommodate approximately 15 students per session in temperatures ranging from -15 to -25 degrees centigrade. The procurement stage moved through the tender phase from 21st November 2024 with a submission deadline on 12th December 2024, and concluded with an award on 23rd December 2024. The contract, which has been active since 31st December 2024, highlights the role of SWFRS as a proactive body governed by public law, with Julie Snooks as the main contact point.

This procurement process presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses that specialise in providing unique or niche training services under challenging conditions. Companies equipped with the expertise and infrastructure to train in harsh weather environments, particularly those within the European region, would have been well-suited to bid for this tender. The nature of the training requirement underscores the potential for organisations that excel in preparing individuals for extreme operational conditions to demonstrate their capabilities and expand their market presence. The open procurement method used in this process also implies a competitive and transparent selection, advocating for efficiency and excellence from participating suppliers.
