The process reached the tender stage on 8th July 2025. This contract is categorised within the services industry, with additional emphasis on goods, under an open procurement method. It required submissions by 25th July 2025. Although initially active, the process was cancelled on 5th August 2025, due to a need to revise the project timetable. However, the new tender is expected to be republished under different terms, providing potential future opportunities. This procurement offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for organisations experienced in the education and visitor attraction sectors, with expertise in producing special effects and technology. Businesses with capabilities in delivering immersive, interactive experiences using video projections, sound, and physical effects would be well-suited for such opportunities. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) may find themselves well-placed for participation, as the procurement process was designed to be SME-friendly, with reserved participation provisions supporting their involvement. The prospective republishing of the tender offers further potential for businesses aiming to engage with public sector contracts in innovative educational solutions. ## Notice Safety Central is Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service's safety and life skills education centre, located in Lymm just outside Warrington.(WA13 0TE) Opened in July 2017, we offer a number of learning programmes to teach children, young people and adults ways of staying safe at home, online, on the roads and while out and about.

We offer four core programmes, which last between 2.5 and 4 hours: * SafetyStars for pupils in Years 2 * SafetyQuest for pupils in Years 5 * SafeWise for teenagers and young people * SaferTogether for adult visitors attending as a part of a community group.
