## Summary

The London Fire Commissioner is seeking proposals for the "Provision of Expert Witness Courses", aimed at enhancing the training for staff in expert witness roles within the Fire Safety department. This tender falls under the category of specialist training services and is located in London, specifically within the M25 region. The tender period concludes on 23 January 2020, and the contract is expected to commence on 1 April 2020, lasting until 31 March 2024. The estimated contract value ranges from £30,000 to £50,000, with the procurement method classified as "Other".

This tender represents a significant opportunity for training providers specialising in professional education and legal training. Companies that offer services related to expert witness training, particularly those experienced in courtroom skills and legal procedures, are well-positioned to compete for this contract. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as their involvement can contribute innovative training solutions to the London Fire Brigade, ultimately supporting their growth in the public sector training market.

## 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) expert witness report writing, courtroom skills, cross-examination, criminal law and procedure. 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.
