Summary of the contracting process

Middlesbrough Council procured first aid training services for its staff and operations. The requirement is classed as education and training services, with the awarded work also described as health and social work services. Delivery is associated with Middlesbrough Council and the Middlesbrough area. This is a public-sector training requirement rather than the supply of medical equipment or general healthcare provision. The scope is a single service requirement, suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. A provider would need to deliver first aid training to the council’s requirements, with the relevant instructional, administrative and operational capability to support council personnel.

The procurement used a below-threshold open competition, with electronic submission allowed. Sixteen bids were received, including sixteen from SMEs. The sole award was made to GOOD EGG MEDICAL LTD on 20 May 2026 for £125,000 gross. The planned contract period was 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029, with provision for two further 12-month extensions, giving a maximum possible end date of 31 August 2031. Bids were evaluated on quality weighted at 70% and price at 30%. Although the award was active, the resulting contract was cancelled, reaching cancelled status on 7 August 2026. The published data gives no reason for the cancellation.

This procurement demonstrates established council demand for structured first aid training delivered by an external specialist provider. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need suitable trainers, course content and delivery arrangements for a public-sector workforce, together with the capacity to manage training across the council’s operational needs. Strong evidence of training quality would be important because quality carried substantially more weight than price in the evaluation. Suppliers should be able to show relevant experience delivering first aid or closely related health and social care training, reliable administration, competent instructors and the ability to support repeat or extended delivery. The opportunity was explicitly suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, and all final-stage bids came from SMEs, indicating that smaller specialist providers can compete.
