BEGINS
Over the last 6 years and in collaboration with an external supplier, the Crisis Management and Fuel Resilience in BEIS has developed a mature Crisis Management Training and Exercising programme to ensure the department is able to respond to emergencies as and when they arise. The current contract for this external support ends on 31 March 2023.
A new external supplier, identified via open market procurement, is required to: a) maintain and further refine existing departmental crisis management capability, and b) build on plans to provide a crisis management audit and assurance function within the department, via exercising with sector teams and industry.
The Emergency Response Training and Exercising programme has been refined and improved over the course of the current and previous contract periods. Through the development and delivery of the BEIS Emergency Response Academy (BERA) training pathway and various internal and x-HMG exercises. In light of the Resilience Strategy and a greater push to assure how the department responds to emergencies, we must ensure that the departments capability is maintained through a programme of assurance, challenge and continual learning and improvement.
