Lot 2 covers the delivery of accredited Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) training for Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) personnel at both Acquisition and Refresher levels. The appointed Service Provider will design, deliver and maintain high‑quality training programmes that develop and sustain the operational competence of SFRS HAZMAT Officers.

Training must combine theoretical instruction with practical learning, incorporating the use of specialist equipment, nationally recognised guidance and safe systems of work relevant to HAZMAT incident response. The Provider will be responsible for ensuring all trainers are suitably qualified, maintain up‑to‑date technical knowledge and are capable of delivering training to nationally accredited standards.

The service includes the provision of all required course materials, assessment processes, student records, and reporting to SFRS. Training may be delivered at SFRS training facilities across Scotland or, where required, at the Provider’s own suitably equipped facilities. The Provider must also support ongoing updates to course content to reflect emerging risks, new equipment, changes in legislation or operational best practice. two.2.5) Award criteria
