The North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust has successfully awarded a contract for "Conflict Resolution Training" to Health Care and Education Supportive Training Limited. The final award follows an open procurement process that began assessing bids on 15th September 2025 and concluded with contract awards announced on 5th January 2026. The training will address specialist training services within the services category, with the contract scheduled to start on 1st May 2026 and concluding by 30th April 2029, with options for two additional 12-month extensions. The training will be delivered in the United Kingdom, specifically within the UKD region.
