Aviation Security Training, Engagement and Mentoring Framework

The Department is publishing this PIN to notify the market of its intention to launch a competition in Summer 2021 to renew the existing framework. In line with its Aviation Security Strategy, the Department for Transport works to improve the standards of aviation security around the world for inbound flights to the UK. The Aviation Directorate leads on this important work for the Department, which comprises of the provision of equipment, training and strategic support to partner states where vulnerabilities in security are identified. Training is a key pillar of our assistance package, and the Department requires a framework for the provision of training services from UK DfT certified aviation security trainers and their respective organisations to design, plan, deliver and evaluate a range of aviation security capacity development projects overseas. Suppliers will deliver short, tactical deployments (typically from 1 to 3 weeks in length) in specific areas of aviation security.
