The purpose of this call for tender is to design, plan, conduct and evaluate training courses for personnel active in the civil protection field, appointed by the participating States of the Union civil protection mechanism according to the Decision No 1313/2013/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council.

An additional important aim of this call for tender is to build on the synergies between the different civil protection actors in the participating States, in order to continue ensuring the diversity and richness of the civil protection training programme. The building of such a strong, comprehensive, well-coordinated and more efficient civil protection training programme can best be achieved through cross-border cooperation between the different training providers. This cross-border cooperation in training has assisted in increasing the preparedness level in the Member States in case of a major emergency and will continue better preparing civil protection personnel and experts in cross-border emergencies. Therefore, this objective aims for high diversity among the training providers in terms of geographical location, training personnel and general setting.

The training courses will be conducted on a yearly cycle starting May/June until May/June of the following year.

The tender is divided into 8 lots.
