The process initiated in December 2024 aimed to find an experienced training provider to deliver a First Response Emergency Care (FREC) Level 3 course to ten members of its training team, starting on 10 January 2025. The procurement used an open procedure and had an overall budget of £100,000, with Lazarus Training Limited being awarded the contract valued at £14,360 on 2 January 2025. This contract falls under the industry category of training services, classified under CPV 80500000. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in training services, particularly those with expertise in military, law enforcement or private security contexts. Companies that excel in delivering rigorous emergency care training can benefit from participating in similar government-backed projects aimed at enhancing the operational capabilities of security forces. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) registered as training providers stand a good chance of securing such contracts, which in turn can drive business growth by expanding their portfolio and establishing a reputation with international clients like ARK GROUP DMCC. ## Notice ARK is seeking an experienced and qualified training provider to deliver a FREC 3 course to 10 members of its training team in Lebanon.
