## Summary

South Wales Fire and Rescue Service, in collaboration with Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service and North Wales Fire and Rescue Service, initiated a procurement process classified under education and training services (CPV code: 80000000) for "Hazmat and RPS Initial Courses and Requalification". The services are required to deliver initial courses, re-qualification courses, and scenario-based maintenance of skills days for HAZMAT and Radiation Protection Supervisor (RPS) officers, with a focus in the UKL region. The process followed an open procurement method, with the contract awarded to GREEN RISK ASSESSMENT LTD, and valued at GBP 200,000. The procurement cycle reached the award stage on 20th August 2025, following its initial tender phase that ended on 27th February 2025. The contract has a duration of three years with the potential to extend by 12 months.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in education and training services related to hazardous materials and radiation protection, offering growth potential through the long-term engagement with three major fire and rescue services in Wales, along with potential delegates from other UK services. Companies skilled in delivering high-quality, compliance-oriented training modules, and those experienced in working with public safety agencies would find themselves well-suited to compete for similar future opportunities. The procurement prioritised criteria of quality and price, each contributing respectively 40% and 60% to the decision-making process, which offers insight into the evaluation balance likely to be appreciated in bids. This is a significant venture for any business looking to expand their operations in the specialised public service training sector.
