- Framework
- An agreement that sets terms for work the buyer may order later, often from several suppliers. The value shown usually covers the whole agreement, not one job.
- Open for bids / closing date
- You must submit by the closing date and time, normally through the buyer's own online portal. Late bids are normally refused.
- Clarification questions
- A deadline for asking the buyer questions about the tender. It is earlier than the closing date.
- Conditions of participation
- What the buyer asks suppliers to show before they can be considered, such as experience, insurance or accreditations.
- Bids are scored on
- How the buyer will compare bids, usually a split between price and quality. A 60/40 split in favour of quality means the cheapest bid will not necessarily win.
- Lots
- A tender can be split into parts. You can often bid for only the lots that suit you.
- Area (ITL)
- The buyer names an official statistical area for where the work is, not a street address. Check the tender documents for the actual sites.
- UK4 and other notice codes
- Official codes for the type of notice. A "tender notice" means bids are being invited.

Description
NWSSP on behalf of WAST requires suitably qualified and accredited C1 driver training providers to deliver training and testing services to a variable cohort of learners.
Training will be required for approximately 73 students and must be completed by 31st March 2027. As the learners are located across Wales, the contract will be awarded to a maximum of four suppliers to ensure students have access to a provider that is geographically convenient. Providers must be capable of delivering flexible training packages tailored to individual learner needs. This includes practical driver training, theory support where required, and the arrangement and facilitation of driving tests.
Providers will be expected to demonstrate consistently high-quality service delivery, together with the ability to support learners with varying levels of driving experience and differing support requirements.
Further detail is provided in Appendix C – Specification.
