## Summary

The procurement process involves the Department for Transport (DfTc), which has awarded a contract for the "Aviation Security Training, Engagement & Mentoring (ASTEM) Framework". This initiative falls under the transport services category and is based in London, United Kingdom. The procurement method utilised is an open procedure, with a total contract value of £5,000,000. The contract period commenced on 11th July 2022 and will run until 10th July 2027. For businesses interested in this opportunity, note that the tender period concluded on 6th June 2022.

This framework presents significant opportunities for businesses looking to enhance their presence in the aviation security industry, particularly those specialising in training and mentoring services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete, especially if they can deliver high-quality training aligned with the UK National Aviation Security Programme. Suppliers should have the capacity to conduct training in various formats, including face-to-face in host countries or remotely via virtual conferencing.

## Notice

The overarching aim of this framework is to support Government in improving aviation security standards overseas. In doing this, suppliers will be expected to deliver a professional and knowledgeable training service. Suppliers on this framework will be expected to deliver a variety of aviation security training courses, mentoring or strategic development events to countries identified by the DfT. Training courses will be based predominantly on the modules and syllabuses of The UK National Aviation Security Programme, but suppliers may also be required to deliver bespoke courses on occasion, tailored to the specific needs of the host state. Training courses, mentoring and strategic development events should ideally be delivered face to face in the hosts country, but suppliers should be willing and able to facilitate delivering such in the UK or remotely, for instance by Virtual Tele-Conferencing.
