Summary of the contracting process

The Borough Council of Kings Lynn and West Norfolk initiated an open procurement process for the provision of a paramedic to offer seafront coverage in Hunstanton. This contract, covering services within the public authority sub-central government, focuses on the supply of medical personnel equipped with adequate vehicles, medicines, and equipment suitable for a seaside resort setting. The engagement is scheduled to occur primarily on weekends and local school holidays from Easter through September. Following planning, tender, and award stages, the project reached completion, with C4 Strategic Limited winning the contract value of £227,613. Significant dates include the contract period starting from 9th April 2026 to 31st March 2028, with the potential renewal described for up to three additional years.

Businesses adept in providing paramedic vehicles and personnel are well-suited to bid for such contracts, with additional opportunities to renew beyond the initial period.
