and

Driver Training includes the use of ambulances, patient transport vehicles and rapid response
vehicles. Students needs depend on whether the students are, Emergency Care Assistants
(ECA),
Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) or Paramedics operating on A&E response vehicles or
patient
transport services or other clinical groups.
This is a procurement to establish a Framework Agreement of multiple suppliers who can
support the
Authority when workloads fluctuate, and our own in-house Driver Training Unit does not have
capacity to undertake all course requirements. Volumes of personnel requiring driver training
fluctuate with changes to workforce requirements and additional newly recruited employees.
The Framework Agreement is split into two (2) Lots:
Lot 1 - Supply of External Tutors
Lot 2 - Outsourced Driver Training Courses (including the supply of external tutor(s), vehicles
and
venues)
