UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham & Solihull Mental Health Foundation Trust procured resuscitation training services for its organisation, with the procurement conducted by the BSOL Procurement Collaborative hosted by University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust. The requirement covers on-site and off-site learning, e-learning, classroom teaching, delegate support and administrative management. It also includes support for clinical simulations. This is a health and first-aid training service, classified under CPV 80560000, with health training services also identified under CPV 80561000. The service is intended for delivery in the United Kingdom. The requirement was arranged as a single lot and is relevant to training providers with the capability to deliver blended resuscitation education, manage delegates and provide practical clinical simulation support across the buyer’s operations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open competitive flexible procedure. The first stage involved bids and the second stage involved presentations. Nine bids reached the final stage, including nine from SMEs. A to E Training & Solutions.co.uk was selected on 30 July 2026, with an awarded value of £616,482. The standstill period ends on 18 September 2026. The awarded contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with one possible 12-month extension to 30 September 2030. The original estimated value was £426,000 excluding VAT, or £511,000 including VAT. The tender deadline was 16 February 2026, and the clarification deadline was 30 January 2026. Evaluation weighted technical quality, including social value, at 65% and financial considerations at 35%.

This award shows a defined requirement for a provider able to combine classroom, e-learning and on-site or off-site resuscitation training, while also supporting clinical simulations and handling the associated administration and delegate support. A credible competitor for this buyer would need sufficient trainers, operational coordination and delivery capacity to support a mental health NHS trust over a multi-year service. Strong technical quality and demonstrable social value would be important because together they carried greater evaluation weight than price. The process also used presentations at a second stage, so suppliers would need to explain and demonstrate their delivery model clearly. The buyer marked the requirement as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, and the nine final-stage SME bids indicate that specialist smaller providers can compete for this type of service.
