This procurement falls under the driving-school services category and is based in the East of England region, encompassing Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk. The tender is currently in the planning stage, following its publication on 12th September 2016. Interested suppliers should note that the tender period closed on 7th October 2016, and the contract is scheduled to commence on 1st December 2016, lasting for three years with the possibility of two extensions of twelve months each. The total contract value is estimated at £70,000. This opportunity presents a chance for businesses specialising in driver training services to engage with a prominent NHS Trust. Suppliers offering training for specialised vehicles are especially encouraged to apply, particularly those with capabilities to deliver training on both road and non-tarmac surfaces within a specified distance of the East of England. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this contract particularly suitable, given the Trust's stated preference for such suppliers. Engaging in this tender could foster business growth by establishing a long-term relationship with a key health service provider in the region. ## Notice The East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust delivers patient focused care across 6 counties including Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. With over 2,000 clinical staff the Trust strives to deliver the highest quality of care for all emergency, urgent and primary care patients. The Hazardous Area Response Team (HART) is a national project to ensure that Ambulance personnel are able to deliver live saving patient care to people who are injured or taken ill within a hazardous environment. Within the East of England there are two HART teams, both made up of 44 members of operational staff; therefore within the Trust there are 88 members of staff who will require new or regular on-going refresher training. The East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust (EEAST) is looking to create a call off order with one supplier, who will be able to provide training to allow staff to safely operate the Trust 4x4 and 6x6 vehicles both on road and on non-tarmac surfaces. Due to the operational needs of the Trusts 6x6 vehicle being used during the course, the training facility must be located no more than 25 miles outside of the East of England region (Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Essex). The contract duration will be three (3) years with the option to extend by up to two (2) further periods of twelve (12) months.
