Fire Scene Investigation Training

Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Authority · Police and fire

In brief

Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Authority has announced plans to buy training and education work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £200,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 2 years, up to 4 years with extensions, starting 1 February 2027.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually low: a median of 2 bids per contract for this buyer (from 7 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £200,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

A detailed specification of requirements will be provided to suppliers within the tender documentation, which will be advertised in October 2026.
