BMKFA intend to award a contract for the provision of appropriate venues, equipment and facilities, in collaboration with Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service Instructors, to deliver firefighting training including Fire behaviour, tactical ventilation simulation, highway scenarios, Breathing Apparatus assessments, Incident Command assessment exercises, Multi-Agency scenarios, Open Programme Instructor development courses and Incident Command refresher courses in accordance with National Operational Guidance and standards.

As part of the contract package, Buckinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service will provide Instructors to the Fire Service College to utilise for up to 300 days a year to support the delivery and development of the Fire Service College courses.

The Fire Service College will provide accommodation, provided for the night prior to any delivery, and catering provided on a full board basis to the Authority's Instructors. The level of facilities, equipment and venue must be appropriate to deliver the required scenarios to meet the current National Operational Guidance and standards, at one location and able to accommodate the opportunities for the further development of the Authority's Instructors whilst providing a flexible cost-effective collaborative solution to meet the unique specialist requirements of a modern fire service.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 75. The category anchor is Firefighting services (75251100); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
