## Summary

The Department for Infrastructure (DfI) has completed the procurement process for the provision of courses for drink drive offenders. This contract, classified under the education and training services category (CPV code: 80000000), is valued at £377,375 GBP and was awarded to TTC GROUP UK PLC. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure, adhering to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Key dates include the contract award date of 19th September 2024 and the start date for the course provision set for 1st October 2024. The initiative will serve the UK region, specifically Northern Ireland (UKN0), and aims to support courts by providing a sentencing option that allows for the reduction of disqualification periods for offenders who successfully complete the approved Course for Drink Drive Offenders (CDDO).

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in education and training services, particularly those with experience in legal or court-mandated training programmes. The contract's substantial value and defined monitoring criteria establish a stable business venture for the awarded vendor. SMEs with innovative training solutions and a robust compliance framework are well-suited for such tenders, fostering both community impact and business growth. By joining this contractual effort, businesses can enhance their portfolio, demonstrate their capability to contribute to public safety initiatives, and forge valuable partnerships with governmental bodies.

## Notice

Drink drive courses are currently used as part of a sentencing option in courts. Where an offender is disqualified for 12 months or more in respect of an alcohol-related driving offence, the court must (unless for special reasons it thinks it would be inappropriate to do so) order that the period of disqualification be reduced if the offender satisfactorily completes an approved Course for Drink Drive Offenders (CDDO/the course). The Department for Infrastructure (DfI) wishes to appoint a Contractor (i.e. a course provider) to provide courses for drink drive offenders from 1st October 2024.

Drink drive courses are currently used as part of a sentencing option in courts. Where an offender is disqualified for 12 months or more in respect of an alcohol-related driving offence, the court must (unless for special reasons it thinks it would be inappropriate to do so) order that the period of disqualification be reduced if the offender satisfactorily completes an approved Course for Drink Drive Offenders (CDDO/the course). The Department for Infrastructure (DfI) wishes to appoint a Contractor (i.e. a course provider) to provide courses for drink drive offenders from 1st October 2024. Additional information: Section II.1.7 details the estimated total value of the contract. This value reflects the potential scale of the contract, however, neither CPD nor the Authority can provide any guarantee as to the level of business under this contract. The successful contractor's performance on the contract will be regularly monitored. Contractors not delivering on contract requirements is a serious matter. It means the public purse is not getting what it is paying for. If a contractor fails to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance they will be given a specified time to improve. If, after the specified time, they still fail to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance, the matter will be escalated to senior management in CPD for further action. If this occurs and their performance still does not improve to satisfactory levels within the specified period, it may be regarded as an act of grave professional misconduct and they may be issued with a Notice of Unsatisfactory Performance and the contract may be terminated. The issue of a Notice of unsatisfactory Performance will result in the contractor being excluded from all procurement competitions being undertaken by Centres of Procurement Expertise on behalf of bodies covered by the Northern Ireland Procurement Policy for a period of twelve months from the date of issue of the Notice..
