Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council has completed the procurement process for providing Medical and First Aid services for the city's major events over the next three years, beginning on 18 May 2026 and concluding on 17 May 2029. The contract, valued at £46,470, was awarded to St John Ambulance. This open procedure tender falls under the "Supply services of medical personnel" category and covers various events in Sheffield city centre, parks, and significant sporting events within the Yorkshire and the Humber region in the United Kingdom. Although the tendering period has ended, this procurement marks an important stage in the award phase for the council's event planning needs.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specializing in medical and paramedical services, particularly those able to deliver comprehensive solutions for large-scale public events. It is well-suited for large organisations with the capability to support city-wide events, as evidenced by St John Ambulance being the successful supplier. For businesses aiming to grow within the public service sector, engaging in similar tenders may help enhance their visibility and develop partnerships with local authorities. Additionally, although this procurement favours larger entities, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) should remain attentive to future opportunities as specified by the council's openness to employing SMEs.
