II.2.4)Description of the procurement:
The aim of this procurement is to set up a Framework Agreement with up to 15 suppliers to provide aviation security training-related provisions internationally and in the UK. The Framework will run for an initial 2 year period, with the option to further extend the Framework for up to 24 months.
It is envisaged that the department will be delivering around 75 projects including training courses of differing types in the 1st year of the Framework. Suppliers will be required to deliver courses in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, the UK and elsewhere as the Department requires.
Training may consist of aviation security courses to improve operational delivery or tackle specific vulnerabilities. The Department may also require the delivery of other types of support, such as operational support, provision of training materials or review of existing security training. These are intended to improve aviation security at a particular airport or group of airports, or within a Host State’s aviation security regulatory framework.
Training will generally be delivered in the host state’s airport(s) and aviation training facilities. There could be occasions when training may be required to be delivered in countries neighbouring those with higher threat for convenience or in the UK. It should be noted that some of these facilities may be challenging and less developed in comparison to the UK. In addition, for some locations there may be a requirement that trainers have recently undertaken or are willing to undertake relevant training for operating in a fragile or hostile environment, e.g. Security Awareness in Fragile Environments course before being able to deploy.

VI.4.3)Review procedure
The DfT will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period at the point information on the award of the contract is communicated to tenderers. Applicants who are unsuccessful shall be informed by the DfT as soon as possible after the decision has been made as to the reasons why the Applicant was unsuccessful.
If an appeal regarding the award of the contract has not been successfully resolved, The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by breach of the rules to take legal action. Any such action must be brought within the applicable limitation period. Where a contract has not been entered into, the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the authority to amend any document and may award damages. If the contract has been entered into the Court may, depending on the circumstances, award damages, make a declaration of ineffectiveness, order the Authority to pay a fine, and/or order that the duration of the contract be shortened. The purpose of the standstill period referred to above is to allow the parties to apply to the Courts to set aside the award decision before the contract is entered into.
