About

DfI Training Centre is seeking suppliers for a framework agreement to provide external training services across three lots: Lot 1 – Gas Safety Training and Assessment, Lot 2 – Confined Space Entry Training, and Lot 3 – VHF Band Radio Operation Training and Assessment. A maximum of two suppliers will be placed on the framework for each lot; suppliers should refer to the Specification Schedule for full detail on deliverables. The procurement is an Open/Competitive Flexible procedure to establish a closed-type framework agreement with qualification, technical and financial envelopes, and the buyer cannot guarantee any level of business under this contract. The opportunity is classified under training services (CPV codes 80500000, 80510000, 80530000, 80531000) and the CPC category is Education and vocational education services.

Insight

This tender is most relevant to external training providers with proven capability in gas safety, confined space entry and VHF radio operation. Key considerations include strong competition (maximum two suppliers per lot), no guaranteed contract volume from the buyer, and the need to meet the specification and the qualification/technical/financial requirements outlined in the tender documents.
