## Summary

Essex County Council is initiating a tender process titled "0665 Driver Training (NDORS and Non-NDORS)" aiming to establish a Framework Agreement for Driver Trainers. This procurement falls under the education and training services category and will be conducted using an open procedure. The tender period is set to close on 25 March 2019, with the contract expected to commence on 14 June 2019 and run for two years, with a possible two-year extension. Training services will be provided at various venues across Essex, and interested bidders are invited to attend Bidder Event Days on 4 and 5 March 2019.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in driver training, particularly those offering both theoretical and practical courses. Companies that are experienced in delivering courses related to the National Driver Offender Retraining Scheme (NDORS) or similar training initiatives would be particularly well-suited to compete for the available lots. Additionally, the framework allows for multiple suppliers in most lots, suggesting ample opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) to engage in this public procurement project.

## Notice

Courses will be delivered at venues throughout Essex. The Framework is split into 6 Nos. Lots. Bidders can apply for all Lots, however the successful bidder for Lot A6 will be precluded from being appointed to Lots A1 - A5. There is no limit on the number of Suppliers appointed to the Framework for Lots A1 - A5. Lot A6 is limited to one Supplier.
