Burning a £6m hole in the pocket
Published: 18 March 2008 12:23 GMT
IT training and recruitment company FDM has been awarded a multimillion pound contract to train staff in England's Fire and Rescue Services.
FDM will be the prime supplier of training for the FiReControl project, which aims to consolidate emergency fire comms in England into nine regional control centres so firefighters can get to emergencies more quickly.
The training contract is worth around £2m for the initial course development, with the potential of being worth up to £6m over an initial three year period depending on the training options undertaken, said FDM.
FDM is a sub-contractor of EADS, the company which was awarded the £200m IT contract for FiReControl last year.
