Interested parties, especially SMEs and VCSEs, are encouraged to participate by providing ideas and details for the training programmes. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the education and training sector to engage with the National Fire Chiefs Council in delivering operational training programmes. Businesses with expertise in blended learning and national-level training delivery are well-suited to compete. The procurement method is an open procedure (below threshold), offering a chance for smaller organisations to engage and contribute to enhancing fire service leadership skills nationwide. ## Notice The NFCC has been developing a model to support suitable and skilled leaders, with no previous fire service experience, to move into operational roles at station and area manager within the fire sector. The NFCC is working on behalf of 10 fire services across the county adopting the Direct Entry Programme within their service. The National Fire Chiefs Council are keen to talk to any providers who would be interested to help shape and inform one or more of the product requirements, outlined within the ITT.
