The contract, valued at £47,760, is part of an initiative funded by the Swansea Bay City Deal. The procurement process has been completed, with a contract period running from March 11, 2024, to September 30, 2024. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in the training and assessment of drone operations in the Engineering Construction Industry. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) capable of delivering high-quality training materials and assessments are well-suited to compete. The procurement method used was an open procedure above threshold, allowing for fair competition among qualified suppliers. The contract offers a chance for businesses to contribute to skill development in unmanned aircraft systems and enhance safety and efficiency in industrial applications. ## Notice ECITB has applied and successfully achieved match funding from the Swansea Bay City Deal, (SBCD) 'Skills and Talent project' fund, to further develop the ECITB IDO programme of courses. The funding has allowed ECITB to accelerate its development of skills for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) training and competence programme (IDO). The development of high-quality skills and competence is essential to fully utilise the advances is technology and use of UAS (Drones) in industry and reduce the impact of working at height whilst enhancing the inspection and maintenance of valuable national assets. The ECITB IDO programme does exactly this and also provides quality assured third party certification for the competence of UAS pilots at Foundation and Advanced levels. The development of the training materials for the Advanced course will complement the foundation and ensure a pipeline of pilots who are not only able to fly a UAV safely but also effectively, gaining valuable information on assets, topography, conduct surveys and enter confined and dangerous spaces limiting human involvement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/348a3d26-6760-4f8b-9302-0c5e14e373a4 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Jun 2024 | | Submission deadline | 23 Feb 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 19 May 2024 | | Contract period | 11 Mar 2024 - 30 Sep 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £40,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £47,760 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ENGINEERING CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY TRAINING BOARD | | Locality | KINGS LANGLEY | | Post town | Watford | | Postcode | WD4 8LZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH2 Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLH27 South West Hertfordshire | | Local authority | Three Rivers | | Electoral ward | Gade Valley | | Westminster constituency | South West Hertfordshire | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | DRONE TRAINING | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 20 Jun 2024 at 10:31 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/348a3d26-6760-4f8b-9302-0c5e14e373a4 - 19 Feb 2024 at 12:40 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ae974480-a283-4f4a-9343-23ac3ce820ec - 31 Jan 2024 at 15:06 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ae974480-a283-4f4a-9343-23ac3ce820ec - 31 Jan 2024 at 12:41 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ae974480-a283-4f4a-9343-23ac3ce820ec - 26 Jan 2024 at 12:46 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ae974480-a283-4f4a-9343-23ac3ce820ec ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/348a3d26-6760-4f8b-9302-0c5e14e373a4 20th June 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ae974480-a283-4f4a-9343-23ac3ce820ec 19th February 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/69089dd3-cc87-4111-b2c0-b6b70ad1eb70 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d9700637-89b1-4319-93e4-4651f83ae177 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2f8163f7-90d2-471a-b9d6-cd1701899d9d - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/30bbe7fd-6a78-4b5e-8e4c-db7a388ec929 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/0434c8b1-dcc4-434b-ac38-dbaa7dc0dbed - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d86628ee-88c9-4c6a-850b-88f15546125a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e21c9694-390d-4366-8185-e2df322074bc - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c1c3f72b-0730-44a5-94a6-bd944225473d - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/190e7397-755c-4dcd-937b-45ddcdf68ecd - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b151e4b0-c99b-4fd4-80ce-9a36ac629e02 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
