1067273293 T1419 Creating neuroinclusive principles to maximise train driver performance
RSSB is seeking to appoint a supplier to undertake research to develop neuroinclusive principles that support train driver performance. The project will examine how train driver training, development, competence management and related workplace activities can be designed and delivered in a more neuroinclusive way, while maintaining safety-critical competence requirements.

Training, Coaching and Development Providers Framework
The Development Bank of Wales (DBW) is seeking to establish a Framework Agreement for the provision of training, coaching and development services to support the learning and development needs of its employees. The framework will provide access to suitably qualified and experienced suppliers capable of delivering a broad range of professional development services, including leadership and management development, procurement and commercial skills, finance, risk and compliance, project management, coaching and mentoring, digital and technology skills, personal effectiveness, and other specialist training requirements.
Through this procurement, DBW aims to appoint a panel of providers who can deliver high-quality, flexible and value-for-money learning solutions across a range of delivery methods, including classroom-based, virtual and blended learning. Tenderers may apply for one, some or multiple disciplines within a Lot. Tenderers are not required to demonstrate capability across all disciplines contained within a Lot. Additional questions within the eTenderWales portal will require Tenderers to identify the specific discipline(s) for which they are submitting a Tender.
The framework will support DBW's strategic objectives by enhancing workforce capability, supporting organisational development and ensuring employees have access to relevant and effective learning opportunities.
Further details of the scope, lot structure, evaluation methodology and framework arrangements are set out within the procurement documents.
The framework is expected to be divided into lots to reflect different areas of expertise. The Development Bank of Wales does not guarantee any minimum volume or value of work under the framework. Contracts will be awarded in accordance with the call-off procedures set out in the procurement documents.
Services may include training programmes, workshops, masterclasses, briefings, coaching, mentoring, facilitation, training needs analysis, learner diagnostics, preparation of learning materials, post-course evaluation and associated reporting. Delivery may be in person, virtual or blended, depending on the requirement, audience and relevant lot.
The framework will be divided into lots covering leadership and management development; procurement, commercial and contract management; financial services, risk and regulatory training; digital, technology and AI skills; project and change management; HR, equality, diversity and inclusion; health, safety and wellbeing; Welsh language and communication skills; coaching and mentoring; and soft skills and business development.
The framework will not guarantee any minimum level of spend, volume of work or number of call-off contracts. Requirements will be commissioned through the framework call-off arrangements and will be subject to business need, budget availability, approval requirements and supplier performance.
The tender code for etenderwales is itt_127450
Strategic Approach to Supplier Appointment
In order to maximise competition, improve resilience of supply and provide access to a diverse range of specialist providers, DBW has structured this Framework to allow Tenderers to bid for individual disciplines within each Lot.
DBW's approach is intended to support participation from SMEs, micro-businesses, specialist providers and Welsh suppliers who may possess expertise in specific disciplines rather than across all service areas within a Lot.
To ensure continuity of service, competitive tension and sufficient market capacity throughout the term of the Framework Agreement, DBW intends to appoint a minimum of two (2) suppliers and a maximum of four (4) suppliers per discipline within each Lot, subject to a sufficient number of Tenderers meeting the Conditions of Participation and achieving the minimum required evaluation standards.
Where fewer than two compliant Tenderers are received for a particular discipline, DBW reserves the right to proceed with the available compliant Tenderer(s) or take such other action as it considers appropriate in accordance with the procurement documents.
The overall maximum number of suppliers that may be appointed across all Lots and disciplines under the Framework Agreement is 314. This figure represents the total maximum framework capacity and should not be interpreted as the number of suppliers to be appointed to any individual Lot or discipline.
This approach is intended to:
maintain value for money through ongoing competition at call-off;
reduce dependency on individual suppliers;
provide flexibility to meet varying business requirements;
encourage participation from specialist providers;
improve resilience and continuity of service provision; and
support DBW's objective of creating a broad and diverse supplier base capable of delivering high-quality training, coaching and development services.

Live Fire Training Unit
East Sussex Fire Authority (ESFA) on behalf of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service require to replace their Live Fire Training Building situated on our Training Centre site in Maresfield East Sussex.
This exercise is being created to replace the previous exercise called Live Fire Training Building (but with the same reference number) as we ran into portal constraints that blocked this being an open tender open to all new interested parties. To do so we had to cease the previous exercise and commence a new one.
Our intention is to replace essentially what we have now on a like for like basis but taking into account some design changes identified that will improve both flexibility in use and reduce the impact we have on the environment. We have a fairly clear idea of what we want, and that we can afford it, and believe we have a basic understanding of who might be able to supply what we require in a fairly small niche market. However, the aim of this document is to allow the market to confirm, or otherwise, our assumptions and for us to gather some information that will allow us to prepare an equitable tender that any capable supplier could bid for. As well as establishing capable suppliers we are very keen to establish whether this can be achieved as a single supplier integrated project, or not.
Whilst we may consider alternative innovative approaches, we believe that a steel framed metal structure or container-based solution is likely to be all that we can afford and of which, we have a lot of experience being the basis of the current unit.
This Tender will be managed electronically via the In-Tend Portal. It can be reached via: https://sell2.in-tend.co.uk/blpd/home
Contractors need to be registered to use the portal and registered against us as a Contracting Entity, but registration is free and further information on how this is achieved, can be found at:

UK2 PME was previously completed via a separate exercise - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/072670-2025
East Sussex Fire Authority (ESFA) on behalf of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service require to replace their Live Fire Training Building situated on our Training Centre site in Maresfield East Sussex.
Our intention is to replace essentially what we have now on a like for like basis but taking into account some design changes identified that will improve both flexibility in use and reduce the impact we have on the environment.
The response to the Preliminary Market Engagement exercise seemed to indicate that we may not be able to achieve our aim of having a single supplier who will work with us to finalise the design then build it from start to finish. This would be our preference to avoid system integration issues and to be working with a single supplier responsible for everything.
As a result this tender will allow for tenders from suppliers who can provide the end to end product but if we are correct in this niche market that may not be achievable, we will allow bids from suppliers who can only supply the training systems along with the smoke scrubber plant (with ongoing maintenance for a period to be agreed after completion) and separately will allow bids from suppliers who can only supply the building units in and onto which the plant and systems will be integrated.
Whilst we may consider alternative approaches, like a steel framed metal structure, we believe a container-based solution is likely to be all that we can afford and of which, we have a lot of experience being the basis of the current unit and against which our current design is based.
This Tender will be managed electronically via the In-Tend Portal. It can be reached via: https://sell2.in-tend.co.uk/blpd/home.
Contractors need to be registered to use the portal and registered against us as a Contracting Entity, but registration is free and further information on how this is achieved, can be found at: https://sell2.in-tend.co.uk/blpd/register.
