The buyer’s description

“The objective of this PME is to evaluate market capability to deliver specialised training services. Note, this is not a call for competition. The NDEU deliver training to enable both Disruptive Effects (DE) and SCaN (See, Check and Notify) programs. A critical component of DE Operational and Tactical Command level training, for specialist events and rural capability, and for SCaN Train-the-Trainer courses is the Hostile Reconnaissance Awareness (HRATM) package developed by Cerastes for the National Protective Security Authority (NPSA). This training has been used successfully as a component of these courses and those developed previously for a number of years and the HRATM element has been developed by and is owned by Cerastes. HRATM has been evaluated and included by NPSA as an essential element of training due to the unique insight it provides into the hostile mindset. NDEU require a reputable, government backed training provider to support the delivery of hostile mindset and awareness activity, provide regular reporting material capturing the global hostile threat across the globe.NDEU, although based in London, have a national responsibility to Home Office and non-Home Office forces throughout the UK. Therefore, any provider would need to be available to deliver alongside NDEU on a national basis. Further information can be found within the Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) Questionnaire. As requirements are gathered, we will have a better idea on the total contract value and what will be included in scope. Based on the current contract velue, the value of this contract will be c.£345,000+VAT over a 42 month period. The estimated new contract duration is 36 months. Please note, the contract duration i subject to change. Prices are indicative and indicative pricing information would be beneficial. Please note, you are not obliged to provide indicative pricing.”
