Successful provider(s) will not be awarded a fixed price contract for the provision of these training services, although we do have a training budget for the next 2 years which is in the region of £140,000. We will commission relevant training packages as and when needed throughout the next 2 years and it may be that one provider can fulfil all of our training needs or we may use multiple providers to deliver these. This will be determined as part of the invitation to tender where we will split the requirements into lots and providers will have the opportunity to bid against each lot.
