The procurement stage is currently active, with a deadline for tender submission set for 1st February 2023. The course falls under the industry category of Specialist Training Services. The contract is valued at £157,000 GBP, with a minimum value of £156,000 GBP. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the contracting authority is the London Fire Commissioner based in London, UK. This tender for the Fire Safety Course presents an opportunity for businesses in the specialist training services sector, particularly those providing safety training services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, while voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are not specifically targeted for this opportunity. The contract period for the training services is scheduled to start on 2nd February 2023 and end on 3rd February 2023, providing a clear timeline for potential suppliers to engage with the process and contribute to the Fire Safety training needs of the London Fire Commissioner. ## Notice The LFB's main Fire safety training contract is currently held with Xact. Xact currently provide Fire Safety qualifications Level 3, Level 4, and a Level 4 Diploma in Fire Safety. Since the implementation of this contract, there has been a change in the built environment, as a result - the LFB need to increase the number of qualified staff. Any further variations to the existing contract will lead to an increase in price that exceeds 50% of the value of the original contract which renders a new procurement procedure. The STA will act as a contingency buffer to train existing staff awaiting training. This contract will run concurrently with our existing Xact contract. The future objective is to run a competitive tender process to source a suitable training provider by 2023 to support the Fire Safety department to meet their statutory requirements. LFB intends to award a contract, subject to a 10-day standstill period, without prior publication of a contract notice. In compliance with the Public Contract Regulations 2015, all awards of contracts that are subject to European Procurement Directives are subject to a mandatory "standstill" period of at least 10 days. A Contract cannot be entered into with the preferred provider until at least the eleventh calendar day following notification. This would not prevent continuing discussions with the preferred provider to ensure prompt mobilisation. The standstill period is expected to end at midnight at the end of 01/02/2023. If steps are taken during this period to suggest that there may be a formal legal challenge to this award, or LFB determines an issue/concern with the process or preferred submission, then the contract award may be suspended until the matter is resolved (or not concluded if the matter cannot be resolved). Subject to no legal challenge being received, the LFB intends to execute the Contract at the conclusion of the standstill period. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/aefac0b2-4819-4997-b59c-65d699f7cfdd | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Jan 2023 | | Submission deadline | 1 Feb 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 2 Feb 2023 - 3 Feb 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £157,000 | | 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 | LONDON FIRE COMMISSIONER | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South East London | | Postcode | SE1 0LL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI44 Lewisham and Southwark | | Local authority | Southwark | | Electoral ward | Borough & Bankside | | Westminster constituency | Bermondsey and Old Southwark | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80510000 - Specialist training services - 80550000 - Safety training services ## Release History - 18 Jan 2023 at 14:46 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/aefac0b2-4819-4997-b59c-65d699f7cfdd ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/aefac0b2-4819-4997-b59c-65d699f7cfdd 18th January 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.london-fire.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
