The tender is valued at £2.7 million over 5 years and is open for services related to environmental training. The procurement process will start on 3rd January 2023 with a contract period from 1st April 2023 to 31st March 2028. The training topics include cross-functional regulatory duties, water management, and waste management, creating opportunities for accredited training providers to deliver services and improve the capabilities of Regulatory Officers. This opportunity is well-suited for small and medium-sized training providers specializing in environmental training services. Businesses with expertise in delivering training on land, waste, and water management, as well as core regulatory duties and techniques, are encouraged to bid for the tender. The Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs aims to outsource new officer training to enhance the standard and recognition of their training programs. With a focus on creating a cleaner and healthier environment, this tender presents a chance for training providers to contribute to environmental sustainability and support the development of Regulatory Officers within the Environment Agency. ## Notice Environment Agency Regulatory Officers regulate everything from water companies and waste management sites to farms and industrial facilities, all of which may impact the surrounding environment. Officers are part of customer-facing frontline teams working directly to create a cleaner, safer and healthier environment. The role includes influencing companies and business to minimise their environmental impact, conducting compliance assessments and inspections, taking enforcement action where relevant and managing pollution incidents. Officers also liaise frequently with partners and the communities they serve. We recruit around 200 Regulatory Officers each year and therefore have a regular requirement to deliver significant amounts of training. Some new starter training is currently outsourced, for example courses covering health & safety and enforcement, however the provision of introductory Environment Management and regulatory skills/techniques training falls for the most part to frontline officers. This can at times result in a strain on their capacity to regulate thus the organization is now looking to out-source some or all of our new officer training. This outsourcing exercise also presents the opportunity to improve the standard and recognition of our introductory training offer and subsequent capability of Regulatory Officers. As such all Regulatory Officers should receive training that is endorsed/accredited where possible by professional bodies The Environment Agency is seeking a qualified/accredited training provider to deliver introductory training to circa 200 Regulatory Officers per year potentially for the next five years. This training will cover the basic technical aspects of land, waste and water management and core regulatory duties, skills and techniques. This tender will be divided into three lots of training topics as follows: * Cross-functional regulatory duties, skills and techniques * Water management * Waste management Providers can bid for 1, 2 or all 3 lots. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/036263-2022 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Dec 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Apr 2023 - 31 Mar 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £2,700,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR ENVIRONMENT FOOD & RURAL AFFAIRS | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 3JR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80540000 - Environmental training services ## Release History - 21 Dec 2022 at 16:26 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/036263-2022 ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-environment-food-rural-affairs ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
