## Summary

The London Fire Commissioner is seeking a contractor for the provision of Expert Witness Courses to enhance the training for staff undertaking expert witness roles within the Fire Safety department. This tender is categorised under legal services and specialist training services, with a total contract value of £130,000. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with the deadline for submissions set for 21 February 2020. The services are required at a location within the M25, ideally in Central London, starting from 1 April 2020 and running until 31 March 2024.

This tender presents a robust opportunity for training providers and businesses specialising in legal education and professional certification. Companies that focus on delivering accredited training, particularly in fire safety and legal services, will find this procurement advantageous. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) should consider competing for this contract, as there is an emphasis on engaging smaller service providers for this particular training requirement.

## Notice

It is necessary to ensure there is a recognised level of training for specific staff undertaking 'expert witness' roles at the London Fire Brigade. This contract is to enable the Fire Safety department to provide professionally recognised qualifications to staff. The requirement is for the Fire Safety department to provide 8-12 Fire Investigating Officers, Fire Engineers, Fire Safety Enforcement Officers, Senior Fire Safety Officers and Fire Safety Inspecting Officers on an annual basis with a certificate (to cover as a minimum) understanding the law, producing an Expert Witness report and managing performance in the court room. The contractor is to provide the courses in a London location within the M25, preferably on an external basis. If the location is not in Central London, parking facilities must be available to those attending the course at no extra charge. If the contractor training solution requires the student to use the LFB computer system they must comply with the LFB ICT requirements.
