As part of the review, research will be required on how training for operational staff is undertaken currently and how the use of technology could be exploited to aid training activities and allow an on-going competence to be maintained with greater efficiency and reduced cost. This requirement is time critical and will feed into HS2 Ltd's rolling stock procurement and the respective contractual framework (in terms of provision of simulators, training content, hardware and software to deliver a blended training and competence environment). ## CPV classification Research and development services and related consultancy services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice ](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/078d56e9-eb5d-4941-b17e-1e0c17550a06) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
