Panel Convenor Training -
Following the success of the Panel Process Adviser pilot in EPSRC in 2024/5, we are looking for a specialist training partner to provide state of the art training that strengthens our Panel Convenors’ knowledge, confidence, and ability to intervene when needed to ensure fair and objective decision making when convening funding panels. This support will help create a lower pressure panel environment where convenors have the cognitive space and autonomy to act effectively.
Scope of Requirement
Overview:
• This procurement seeks to appoint a supplier to design and deliver training for EPSRC panel convenors, who are EPSRC staff responsible for convening and running peer review panels. The training will support convenors to lead panels effectively, consistently and transparently, in line with EPSRC governance requirements, UKRI’s Principles of Peer Review, and EPSRC’s commitments under its Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Action Plans.
• The scope of the requirement covers the development, delivery and iterative improvement of training content that builds EPSRC’s internal capability to manage panel processes, mitigate risks of bias, and ultimately further strengthen confidence in funding decision making.
Stalking Perpetrator Intervention, Independent Victim Advocacy and System Wide Training
The Authority seeks to commission a specialist stalking service across Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. The Service shall address stalking-related harm through assessment, perpetrator intervention, independent victim advocacy, safeguarding, dynamic risk management, professional development, monitoring and system learning.
The Service shall operate as part of the wider multi-agency response. It shall complement and strengthen existing police, probation, safeguarding, victim support and protective order arrangements, but it shall not replace statutory agency responsibilities.
The Service is intended to support the objectives of the Home Office Domestic Abuse and Stalking Perpetrator Interventions Fund, subject to confirmation of funding. The Service shall contribute to improved victim safety, strengthened perpetrator accountability, earlier intervention, improved multi-agency responses and learning about effective stalking perpetrator intervention.
Commissioning rationale:
• Create a dedicated referral and intervention pathway for stalking perpetrators.
• Improve victim safety through functionally independent advocacy and safety planning.
• Strengthen multi-agency risk management, information sharing and escalation.
• Improve professional confidence, referral quality and stalking identification.
• Generate reliable learning about implementation, engagement, outcomes and future commissioning requirements.
Strategic Outcomes:
The Provider shall be accountable for delivery of activities and outputs within its control. Some system-level impacts depend on police, probation, safeguarding, courts, health, local authorities and other agencies and cannot be attributed solely to the Provider.
For contract management and evaluation purposes, outcomes shall be understood at three levels:
• Provider-Controlled Deliverables: activities and outputs directly within the Provider’s control, including referrals processed, assessments completed, advocacy offers made, interventions delivered, risk reviews undertaken, safeguarding escalations made, reports submitted and training delivered.
• Provider-Influenced Outcomes: changes to which the Provider is expected to make an evidence-informed contribution, including improved victim safety, increased perpetrator accountability, reduced dynamic risk indicators, improved engagement, improved referral quality and stronger multi-agency risk management.
• System-Level Impacts: longer-term changes to which the Service may contribute but which cannot be attributed solely to the Provider, including reduced repeat victimisation, reduced serious harm, reduced repeat police contact and a stronger local response to stalking.

This notice is to inform that pre-market engagement has already occurred and is not opening an opportunity for further engagement.
An informal conversation took place with a potential supplier to better understand whether the proposed work was feasible. We wanted to assess potential scale of the requirement, gain a better understanding of the possible delivery options, and establish what types of support were available. This informal engagement was exploratory and intended solely to inform our approach. No commercial discussion took place.
DVSA is requesting information from potential suppliers to help shape our approach to re-procuring our Training and Testing Audit Services requirement.
DVSA’s current Training and Testing Audit Services contract is due to expire on 15 December 2026. This opportunity is to replace the current contract.
This requirement covers the auditing of centres, courses, and examinations across the UK on behalf of the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), the Driver & Vehicle Agency (DVA), the Health & Safety Executive Northern Ireland (HSENI), and the Welsh Government. The audits relate to Driver CPC periodic training (Driver CPC), Taxi Driver Periodic Training (TDPT, in Northern Ireland only), Drink Drive Rehabilitation (DDR), and Dangerous Goods Driver Training (DGDT), ensuring that these programmes and assessments are delivered in accordance with the relevant standards and regulatory requirements.
Cyber Security and Physical Security awareness training.
