## Summary

The procurement process pertains to the provision of train driver training services conducted by Govia Thameslink Railway Limited, a private utility organisation based in London, United Kingdom. Categorised under specialist training services, this contract is part of the 'services' industry. The procurement stage is currently in the 'Award' phase, with significant dates including the contract start date on 9th October 2025 and the end date on 31st March 2026.
