## Summary

West Midlands Fire Service procured training in Level 6 Fire Engineering Principles for 12 people, with courses planned for two cohorts. The requirement is for specialist professional training in fire engineering principles, rather than equipment or fire protection works. The buying organisation is West Midlands Fire Service, based in Birmingham, and delivery is in the West Midlands. This is a services requirement in the industrial training category (CPV 80531100). The course title and description identify two intended course start dates, indicating training provision for personnel at more than one point in the programme. The selected supplier, LABC Ltd, is an established large company, indicating that the buyer placed the requirement with a supplier able to provide this specialised training at organisational scale.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to LABC Ltd on 25 September 2026. The awarded value is £27,900. The contract period runs from 25 September 2026 to 13 July 2027. The buyer used a limited competition through a below-threshold competitive quotation process. The initial estimated value was £27,900, with a stated minimum of £27,899. The procurement was for one requirement, covering 12 participants and two course dates: 8 October 2026 and 13 January 2027. The tender submission deadline was 24 September 2026 at 5pm. The recorded suitability assessment marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria or weighting are set out in the published process information.

For providers of fire engineering education, this award demonstrates demand from West Midlands Fire Service for Level 6 Fire Engineering Principles training for a cohort of 12, delivered across two course dates. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to deliver advanced, structured instruction in fire engineering principles and manage training for a group of this size across a defined programme. The award to LABC Ltd shows that a large supplier was selected; the recorded suitability assessment also indicates that the requirement was not considered suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The competition route was a below-threshold competitive quotation, so relevant suppliers should be capable of responding to a quotation exercise and evidencing that their course content and delivery can meet the fire service’s specialist training need.
