Description

TWFRA (‘the Authority’) is the publicly accountable body that oversees the policy and service delivery of Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service (‘the Service’) on behalf of the community. The Service successfully leads the operational delivery of fire and rescue services such as public protection, fire and other emergency prevention, operational response and resilience. Our stations, staff and appliances are strategically placed across Tyne and Wear to ensure efficient and effective response to fires and other emergencies. Appliances work across station areas and can be mobilised whilst away from their home station. We also have robust arrangements with neighbouring services to enable additional support during major emergencies.
Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service (TWFRS) is dedicated to delivering high-quality services that meet the changing needs of local communities. Central to this commitment is the provision of effective training and development, ensuring that operational teams are well-prepared, knowledgeable, and confident in their roles.
To successfully implement training programmes across the Service, TWFRS recognises the importance of upskilling its internal trainer(s). This will enable them to deliver consistent, high-quality training to the wider operational workforce. By investing in the development of its trainers, TWFRS aims to establish a strong foundation for the effective sharing of knowledge and best practice throughout the organisation.
This opportunity invites suitably qualified and experienced providers to support TWFRS in delivering targeted training solutions that will enhance the skills and capabilities of its trainer. The appointed provider(s) will play a vital role in helping TWFRS maintain its high standards of service delivery and community safety through structured and sustainable workforce development.

Lot 1- Compartment Fire Behaviour Training Instructor (CFBTI)

NEC4 Training

The Environment Agency (EA) is responsible for taking a strategic overview of the management of all sources of flooding and coastal erosion. The EA has regulatory and operational delivery functions, addressed via Asset Management and Incident Management functions respectively. The EA reduces the risk of flooding by constructing, operating and maintaining assets, by working with and influencing others, by providing expert technical advice, and by using its enforcement powers to ensure others meet their responsibilities. Its vision is to develop Flood & Coastal Erosion Risk Management (FCERM) within the EA to be at the forefront of asset management internationally. The EA wishes to be recognised as an Industry leading asset management organisation. Project & Programme Delivery (PPD) provides project and programme management services to various customers, including those relating to civil engineering/construction projects. PPD is situated in the Flood & Coastal Risk Management (FCRM) Directorate. Previously known as Programme and Contract Management (PCM), PPD utilises a mix of internal project managers, other support professionals plus contractors/services from its National Framework suppliers (since 2019 ‘Next Generation Supplier Arrangements’ (NGSA)). The EA has identified a need for a selection of NEC4 training solutions to be made available from January 2026 onwards, primarily for permanent EA Project Managers. These training solutions will need to accommodate those who need to refresh their knowledge or who are new to the EA. The aim of the training is primarily to improve understanding/application of the NEC4 PSC and ECC main and short contracts, as well as the NEC4 TSC main and short contracts. However, the EA is also considering the wider NEC knowledge base and how development in this area could further enhance its employees’ expertise. To be consistent with its training provisions across the whole of its asset management portfolio, there is an identified need for staff within its Local Operations and Environment and Business directorates, especially Future Framework, Area and Defra Group Commercial teams who have exposure to and involvement with NEC4 contracts to also be able to access the same NEC4 training as PPD Project Managers. The EA wishes to have available both e-learning provision and in-house classroom development solutions moving forward, both used as separate items and / or blended learning. It has previously utilised externally-hosted e-learning provisions and off-the-shelf training that has been delivered via in-house classroom workshops with minor adaptations. For traditional face-to-face classroom / group learning solutions, please note that ‘virtual’ classroom solutions via a suitable online platform may be required moving forwards. To supplement the above, the EA is also seeking a programme of accessible bite-size learning on key topics and themes, delivered via pre-recorded webinars or a similar mechanism that would provide a flexible training resource for staff to access as required on an ongoing basis to complement and re-enforce more formal e-learning and face-to-face training.

NLFC - Coproduction and development of Lived Experience roles

The North London Forensic Collaborative (NLFC) commissions and delivers forensic adult secure inpatient and specialist forensic community services for the population of North London. This includes people with a learning disability and/or autism in inpatient and community forensic services. The collaborative is formed of five NHS Trusts and one Independent Provider. North London Foundation Trust (NLFT) as the Lead Provider, Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust (CNWL), East London NHS Foundation Trust (ELFT), North East London NHS Foundation Trust (NELFT), West London NHS Trust (WLT), and The Priory Hospital, working in partnership to improve services for patients, families, carers and staff. There are currently 700 low and medium secure inpatient beds across the provider collaborative, and provision for 600 community forensic service users provided by three Specialist Community Forensic Teams (SCFT)’s, each aligned to one of the Integrated Care Systems (ICS) in North London. NLFT as part of their lead provider responsibilities are required to establish and host a delineated commissioning team, known as ‘The Commissioning Hub’. The commissioning hub is comprised of clinical, operational, experts by experience and corporate staff, and the governance structures provide a framework through which providers can hold each other to account in a fair, transparent and constructive way (Diagram 1). Clinical networks are comprised of staff from across the collaborative, and the patient council is comprised of current patients from adult secure inpatient services, placing co-production, and staff and patient engagement at the centre of quality and service improvement. The NLFC will be publishing the Co-production and User Involvement Strategy in September 2025, which reaffirms the Commissioning Hub’s commitment to working in partnership with people who use services, their families, and carers. Underpinned by five strategic priorities, the strategy aims to further strengthen and elevate the role of people with lived experience within the commissioning hub, ensuring people who use services can meaningfully shape, influence, and assure how services are designed, delivered, and quality assured. To achieve this, the Commissioning Hub is seeking to partner with an organisation that brings proven expertise in co-production and developing a lived experience workforce. This partnership aims to strengthen and build upon the existing model, which currently includes: • Peer Engagement Workers (PEW): Six peers with lived experience recruited into paid positions to work alongside clinical quality managers in quality assurance roles, which includes one peer with a learning disability (Appendix A) • The NLFC Patient Council: A patient council comprised of 12 members, with representatives from all the inpatient providers, established to co-create and co-deliver system wide quality improvement and service development initiatives. (Appendix B) • Community Connectors: A group of community forensic service users, with representation from each of the SCFT’s, established to co commission provision delivered through the NLFC VCFSE Grants and Access to Employment programmes. (Appendix C) In addition to maintaining the existing model, the appointed provider will be required to strengthen and expand it by developing new roles for people with a learning disability and autistic people, and by supporting the engagement of families, friends, and carers. The provider will also deliver strategic expertise and a comprehensive training programme; both aimed at embedding meaningful involvement at all stages of the commissioning cycle and governance structures.
