Overview

This UK3 notice provides advance notice of a forthcoming procurement opportunity.

Natural Resources Wales (NRW) is seeking to establish a Framework Agreement for the provision of 4x4 vehicle training services.

The proposed framework will be divided into four geographical lots covering North Wales, Mid Wales, South West Wales and South East Wales. The requirement is expected to include the delivery of basic and advanced 4x4 operator training, competency assessments, certification and periodic reassessment for NRW employees who operate four-wheel drive vehicles as part of their duties. Training must be delivered by suitably qualified, Lantra-approved instructors and be aligned with current industry standards.

Suppliers will be required to provide suitable training venues and land within the geographical area of the lot(s) bid for. Training locations must support practical off-road driving exercises, be representative of the operational environments encountered by NRW staff, be appropriately insured and risk assessed, and provide suitable welfare facilities.

The framework is anticipated to operate for an initial period of two years, with options to extend for up to a further two years.
