Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency, a sub-central government public authority located in London, has awarded a direct contract to St John Ambulance for the provision of Physical and Mental Health First Aid training with a focus on specialist training services. Due to the nature of the service, the procurement was a direct award as St John Ambulance is the sole supplier. The contract, valued at £560,000 (gross value £672,000), will commence on 1st May 2026 and is set to end on 19th April 2027, with the possibility of two one-year extensions. The procurement stage is classified as complete, with all related lots also finalised.

This tender opens opportunities for businesses specialising in mental health and physical first aid training to explore future collaborative ventures with government agencies. Given the focus on specialist training and the significant contract value, large-scale training providers and potential growth-oriented smaller enterprises in relevant sectors might find synergistic opportunities or insights from the contract’s progression. The ability to engage with government contracts can facilitate growth, brand recognition, and expand service offerings into the public sector domain for similar entities in the training industry.
