## Summary

The South Wales Fire and Rescue Service, in collaboration with Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Authority and North Wales Fire and Rescue Service, has completed the procurement process for the "HDIM Maintenance of Skills" contract. This procurement falls under the education and training services industry category and is located within the United Kingdom, specifically the UKL region. The process was conducted through an open competition below the threshold, following Welsh devolved regulations, and primarily aimed to enhance the skill set of Tactical Officers within the service. The contract, valued at approximately £107,999.98, commenced on 1st July 2025 and is set to end on 30th June 2026, with potential extensions for up to four additional years. The procurement stage is complete, with Green Risk Assessment being designated as the supplier.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in education and training services, particularly those capable of delivering specialised training programmes to meet the stringent standards of large governmental bodies. SMEs and organisations adept at providing technical and competency-based training in line with national frameworks would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future. The framework ensures continued operation and readiness, thereby creating an ongoing need for skilled service providers, making it a valuable opportunity for growth and long-term partnership with the fire and rescue services across Wales.

## Notice

National Resilience Wales enhances a select group of Tactical Officers within South Wales Fire and Rescue service to the role of HDIM. This is to provide the DIM capability (DIM Vehicle 19) across Wales in line with the DIM Model used across the UK. South Wales Fire and Rescue Service (SWFRS) has a compliment of up to twenty fully qualified DIM advisors who are supported by Twenty Hazardous Materials Advisors (HMA), a role also encompassing both the Radiation Protection Supervisor qualification and that of an Environmental Protection Officer. Due to the technical skills required by this group, National Resilience Wales alongside South Wales seeks to identify an external training provider to assist in identifying and supporting the SWFRS officers in maintaining competency as stated in the HDIM Competency standards framework, published by NFCC National Resilience.
