Overview

Natural Resources Wales is establishing a framework agreement for first aid training services to support approximately 1,193 staff across Wales, covering courses including First Aid at Work, Emergency First Aid, and Emergency First Aid with Forestry specialisation. The four-year framework (two-year initial period with option to extend) is divided into two geographical lots (North & Mid Wales, and South Wales) and requires training to be delivered locally to minimize travel and carbon emissions, with delivery in NRW offices or public courses depending on staff numbers and location.
