Description
His Majestys Coastguard is over 200 years old, growing and changing over time to meet both the needs of the communities they serve and also the UK's international responsibilities, delivering a life-saving service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
A principal objective is to continue the development of the organisation and its voluntary membership, who give up their time to train and respond to incidents. It is these volunteers that we are looking to support and develop in their driving-related roles.
Upon completion of a competitive procurement exercise, HMCG has secured the services of three partners who shall work within our communities, to deliver and assess HMCG driving standards, ensuring a national common approach to Driver Induction, and Light Vehicle on Road Driving Assessment. Identifying training needs/support requirements and recording them in a common format.
These partners are familiar with the DVSAs "National Standard for Driving Cars and Light Vans" and that the weighting of any shortcomings is in line with "Carrying out Driving Test - Examiner Guidance".
The Contracting Authority encouraged bids from VCSE's (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises) in addition to suppliers from the local area's in which the requirements are being competed in, and are pleased to secure the services of SMEs and VCSEs alike.
The requirement was split into 6 lots to reflect HMCGs Divisional Area structure, consisting of the following:
Lot 1 - Division 1 (Scotland)
Lot 2 - Division 2 (East of England & Midlands)
Lot 3 - Division 3 (South East of England)
Lot 4 - Division 4 (South West of England)
Lot 5 - Division 5 (Cymru/Wales)
