## Summary

The Department for Transport, based in London, is conducting an open tender for the "Aviation Security Support, Engagement & Training (ASSET) Framework: Extension". This procurement falls under the education and training services industry category and is currently in the Award stage, following a completed tender process. The contract, valued at £1,000,000, is a six-month extension, running until March 2022, allowing for the necessary rescoping of requirements in light of Covid-19 lessons learned. The previous framework expired in September 2021, prompting this extension as part of the Department's efforts to enhance aviation security measures in high-risk countries.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in aviation security training and related services, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can provide tailored solutions in this critical area. Companies with experience in developing and delivering training programmes for governmental agencies or those familiar with aviation security protocols will be well-positioned to compete. Engaging in this contract not only entails participating in the extension but also opens pathways for future contracts as the Department for Transport seeks to implement new strategies based on identified vulnerabilities.
