This initiative falls under the services category and is specifically classified as specialist training services. The contract, valued at £50,000, is set for a period of three years with an option to extend for an additional two years and aims to provide mandatory maritime safety training at two venues across North and South England. The tender was concluded on 9th July 2021, with the award announcement made on 30th August 2021, and the contract period commencing from 29th August 2021 to 28th August 2024. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in training services, particularly in the fields of health, first-aid, and security. Companies equipped to deliver STCW qualifications and refresher courses are well-suited to compete. Given the preference for local training venues to reduce officer travel costs, businesses with facilities in Northern England or Southern Scotland, as well as Southern England, may find this particularly advantageous. Furthermore, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, reflecting a commitment to fostering diverse and inclusive procurement practices. ## Notice The Civil Nuclear Constabulary (CNC) are looking to place a 3 year contract (with the option to extend a further 2 years) for Marine Safety Training for CNC's Strategic Escort Group (S.E.G). The Contract has been split into 2 Lots for the North and South of England, Tenderers can bid for one or both Lots. The Strategic Escort Group (SEG) is a specialist Unit within the Civil Nuclear Constabulary (CNC) which protects high risk nuclear materials in transit around the world. This Tender refers to the maritime safety element of training which is a legal obligation and outlines the unique requirements as a Counter-Terrorism Police Unit. In order to reduce officer fatigue and travelling costs SEG would prefer one training venue in the North of England/Southern Scotland and one training venue in the South of England. This would be a benefit the current locations where the majority of the team currently reside. However alternative solutions will be taken into consideration. Recent international legislative changes (Manila Amendments 2010) require that SEG are to complete Mandatory STCW78 training elements followed by 3-5 yearly refresher courses where applicable. The training provider must meet the strict standards of STCW qualifications and be approved to deliver the training, offer SEG the opportunity to train numerous officers in varying group sizes (min. 2-3) (max. 8-10) between 2021 and 2024 and provide SEG with all of the required qualifications and all of the respective reduced refresher courses as necessary. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/79b8545c-d7ad-4978-84a2-c21cc17f7f56 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Sep 2021 | | Submission deadline | 9 Jul 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 29 Aug 2021 | | Contract period | 28 Aug 2021 - 28 Aug 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £50,000 | | 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 | CIVIL NUCLEAR POLICE AUTHORITY (CNPA) / CIVIL NUCLEAR CONSTABULARY (CNC) | | Locality | ABINGDON | | Post town | Oxford | | Postcode | OX14 3DB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ14 Oxfordshire CC | | Local authority | South Oxfordshire | | Electoral ward | Sandford & the Wittenhams | | Westminster constituency | Didcot and Wantage | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | SOLENT UNIVERSITY | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80510000 - Specialist training services - 80560000 - Health and first-aid training services - 80561000 - Health training services - 80562000 - First-aid training services - 80600000 - Training services in defence and security materials ## Release History - 21 Sep 2021 at 13:00 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/79b8545c-d7ad-4978-84a2-c21cc17f7f56 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/79b8545c-d7ad-4978-84a2-c21cc17f7f56 21st September 2021 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=37335&B=BLUELIGHT Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/31796 User / Company ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/civil-nuclear-consta ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
