The maximum permitted term of the contract is 3 years and the anticipated commencement date is October 2025.The rail industry within the UK face a range of threats, hazards and operational challenges that have the potential to jeopardise its ability to run services, safely and securely and to uphold customer confidence.We recognise that any disruption to the services we provide caused by a major incident, needs to be dealt with as quickly and efficiently as possible by competent incident commanders.To ensure there is a level of consistency and excellence in rail major incident command provision in TfW. We require a training provider to work with us to develop and deliver a competency-based training programme that is aligned to the TfW Major Incident Response Plan.The training will provide our strategic and tactical incident commanders with knowledge, skills and understanding in relation to managing a rail major incident, specifically in relation to TfW as a Train Operating Company. To achieve this, the training will need to include both theoretical learning and simulated exercising.The training will be for 50 people, consisting of the Strategic (Directors) and Tactical (Senior Managers) that provide 24/7 incident management cover via an on-call Rota and other roles that are relevant.Key objectives for the learning:a.
