About

CHESTERFIELD ROYAL HOSPITALS NHS FOUNDATION TRUST awarded a contract to J Coates HGV Services for Class B+E trailer towing and driver training.

The training addressed changes to drivers' licence requirements for towing trailers, specifically for drivers who passed their test on or after 1st January 1997.

To tow a trailer weighing more than 750 kilograms when the combined weight of the towing vehicle and trailer exceeds 3,500 kilograms, drivers must pass a further test in category B+E.

This affected Bolsover District Council's operational teams who use trailers to transport goods.

The contract aimed to ensure flexibility for operations, compliance with the law, and a proactive approach to keeping teams safe and healthy while driving at work.

Initially, approximately 15 employees required this training, with the likelihood of this number increasing in the future.

The contract value was £1.
