2026/08 (Version 2) Establishment of a Panel for the Provision of Suitable Providers for Health and Safety Courses for LMETB Students

LMETB invites submissions for the establishment of the Panel for the Provision of Suitable Providers for Health and Safety Courses for LMETB Students. This panel will operate for a 3-year period and is open to applications throughout that period, it will be re advertised on eTenders on an annual basis using a PIN notice, linking to the original CFT. These Health and Safety Courses are required for a range of QQI courses offered by LMETB schools/centres to prepare students for work placements or as part of their coursework.

Courses take place during the academic year, and the panel will be used to provide training throughout the year. Student numbers change on an annual basis and there is no guarantee to the number of students who will require Health and Safety Training or the number of courses. The panel allows flexibility if training needs expand around health and safety during the term of this panel.

The training provided to students supplements their classroom education and placements in the achievement of their academic awards. There are no restriction to the number of applicants who can qualify for the panel provided the applicant meets the requirements. This panel will commence operations shortly after review of initial submissions.
