This contract, which spans three years with the possibility of a two-year extension, is classified under specialist training services. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by 9th July 2021. Training will require specific STCW qualifications and takes place in England, with a preference for venues in the North and South to reduce travel costs for officers. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in maritime safety training, particularly those with the capacity to deliver STCW compliant training courses. Companies providing health and first-aid training, as well as those with expertise in defence and security training services, would be well-suited to compete. Engaging with this contract could enhance business prospects in a niche market that services critical safety needs for high-risk operations within the nuclear sector. ## 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/5723a957-f94c-4d80-b90f-4f02ef0a01d9 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Jun 2021 | | Submission deadline | 9 Jul 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 9 Jul 2021 - 11 Jul 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | 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 | ## 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 - 10 Jun 2021 at 11:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5723a957-f94c-4d80-b90f-4f02ef0a01d9 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5723a957-f94c-4d80-b90f-4f02ef0a01d9 10th June 2021 - Opportunity 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.
