Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council initiated a public procurement process for providing First Aid Awareness training as part of their Taxi and Private Hire Car Intermediate Course. This service falls under the 'First-aid training services' category and is classified as a service procurement. Initially, the procurement process was active, with the submission deadline set for 13th May 2026. The course was to be delivered at the South Gyle location in Edinburgh, under an open procurement method, covering a total of 92 training days in the first year. However, a subsequent contracting process for the same requirement was cancelled as per the latest update on the 25th May 2026.

This tender could present significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in first-aid training and educational services. Companies capable of delivering structured training to groups and ensuring high-quality standards might find this contract fitting, given the prioritisation of 70% on quality criteria. The procurement is accessible for electronic submissions, making it feasible for businesses across the UK to participate. Such contracts not only provide a steady income stream but also enhance the provider’s portfolio by associating with a regional authority like The City of Edinburgh Council.
