Description

The current contract with JBA for the T98 & T98a Visual Asset Inspection (New accreditation and Reaccreditation- Area Healthcheck) training ends 21/10/2026. We have used the last of the extensions (4 +1+1) so will need to undertake a procurement exercise and need L&D support to undertake this and ensure there is no gaps in our ability to deliver this training. To achieve this, we hope to have completed the procurement exercise in time to commence the new contract on 22/10/2026.
