Tender: Water and Flood Rescue Training Courses for Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service

About

Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service (TWFRS) is seeking a supplier to deliver ongoing, compliant water and flood rescue training for personnel, including initial training, continuing professional development (CPD) and recertification, using the recognised training framework adopted since 2006. The Service requires courses that support external training and the development of internal instructors, integrate with its structured training and log booking system for accurate, auditable records, and meet national compliance such as the DEFRA Concept of Operations and the NFCC Rescue Boat Code. Training must reflect evolving national guidance and enhanced instructor prerequisites, including new modules developed in response to national incidents and debriefs, to support the expansion of water and flood rescue provision under the Community Risk Management Plan.
