Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council has established a framework agreement for the provision of medical support services for several prestigious venues including the Scarborough Open Air Theatre, Scarborough Spa, and Whitby Pavilion. This framework, classified under the health services category (CPV code 85100000), will commence on 1st April 2026 and last until 31st March 2030. It encompasses a range of event services focused on providing comprehensive medical, first aid, and ambulance cover to ensure safety and minimise the impact on NHS services in the locality, primarily focusing on Scarborough and Whitby, but potentially extending to other areas within North Yorkshire. The procurement process employed was competitive, sanctioned under the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime 2023, with a contract awarded on 12th January 2026 to CIPHER Medical Consultancy Limited. The framework's total value is capped at £550,000.

This tender represents a lucrative opportunity for businesses operating in the health services and event management sectors, as it requires expertise in managing large-scale medical logistics and staffing for public events. Companies that have experience in healthcare provision for public gatherings or those capable of quickly deploying medical resources would be well-suited for similar future opportunities. As this contract creates a dedicated supplier framework, interested parties should position themselves as reliable providers capable of delivering high-quality and innovative health services, alongside showcasing a strong commitment to social value and reducing health inequalities. Successful engagement in this framework can significantly augment a business’s profile and open doors to further opportunities in public sector tenders across the region.
