## Summary

Warwickshire County Council has awarded a contract for the provision of New Firefighter Basic Training for its Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service. This procurement falls under the category of "Specialist training services" and takes place in Warwick, West Midlands, United Kingdom. The training programme, which has a contract period running from 4th September 2017 to 3rd September 2019, consists of a 12-week residential course designed for new recruits, with the first cohort set to begin on 4th September 2017. The procurement process was conducted using an open procedure, and the tender had a deadline for submissions on 4th July 2017.

This contract represents a considerable opportunity for businesses specialising in training services, particularly those focused on emergency services or vocational training. Companies that offer courses in firefighter training or emergency response and possess the capacity to manage multiple recruits over an extended period would be particularly well-suited to compete. Given the potential for further groups of recruits to be trained in subsequent years, this contract could lead to ongoing relationships and additional training opportunities for successful suppliers.
