The framework covers both operator and supervisor training to ensure the continuous development of new starters and the provision of refresher courses for existing staff. The procurement was conducted as an open procedure with the main category being services in the environmental protection sector. Training will mainly be provided in the UKL region. Key dates include the initial tender period ending on 24th June 2024, with the contract awards announced on 11th November 2024. The framework aims to run courses multiple times each year based on demand. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in forestry and land management training, especially those with the capacity to deliver both operator and supervisor training. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in particular are well-suited to compete, as evidenced by the award of operator training contracts to organisations such as Grwp Llandrillo Menai, Jimmy Hughes Services Limited, Kielder Newport West Limited, Focus on Forestry First Limited, and Orange Forestry Limited trading as Forest Park & Garden Ltd. This framework allows successful bidders to secure long-term contracts, providing a stable revenue stream and an opportunity to expand their service offerings in the environmental protection sector. ## Notice NRW is seeking to award a framework to deliver training in Land Management and Forestry.
