## Summary

The Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority has successfully completed the procurement process for the provision of Incident Command Training services under the YPO999 Training Services DPS Framework. This contract was awarded to GSB Command Training Limited on 20th March 2026, with the total contract value amounting to £200,000. The initiative, categorised under 'Training services' in the services industry, focuses on delivering multi-agency strategic and tactical incident command training. Although the procurement method was limited, the award process did not require prior publication of a call for competition, due to its classification outside the scope of the directive. The training services will be conducted in the UKD region, providing opportunities for further contract extensions.

This tender represents significant business growth potential for small and medium-sized enterprises specialising in training and educational services, particularly those with expertise in emergency and command training. Organisations with robust training methodologies and an adaptive approach to multi-agency scenarios are particularly suited to engage with this procurement process. Given the procurement's strategic nature, bids that demonstrate competitive pricing and strategic command training competencies stand a favourable chance. Collaborating with a regional authority like Merseyside Fire and Rescue offers businesses an opportunity to establish long-term relations with a local government entity, enhancing credibility and customer trust.
