CCZP16A19 - The Provision of Personal Safety Training Support/Quality Assurance for Immigration Enforcement Initial Arrest Training

Tender description

Arrest training is mandatory for all Criminal Investigators and operational Immigration Compliance Engagement (ICE) staff in Immigration Enforcement and forms one of the initial stages of the Professionalising Investigations Programme (PIP). In order for Immigration Enforcement to deliver the arrest training, 3 Personal Safety Trainers (PST) will be required per scheduled course. Although IE has the capacity to make this number of PST trainers available on an ad hoc basis, this is not sustainable and would place operational staff resources under inordinate strain. Immigration Enforcement therefore require the procurement of at least one external Arrest Trainer for each planned Arrest Course as well as some ad hoc work over the duration of the two year contract. This will diminish the burden on Immigration Enforcement and allow development of new Immigration Enforcement PST trainers (by way of skills transfer) whilst continuously quality assuring the arrest training itself. The external assistance is required to be available until November 2018 at the end of which IE will be in a position, having reinforced its PST training skills, to deliver arrest training autonomously.
