Summary of the contracting process

The Southern Health and Social Care Trust has successfully concluded a procurement process for the provision of Resuscitation Council Course Manuals and Registration Fees. This procurement, in the industry category of 'Anaesthesia and resuscitation', involved the direct award of a contract to the Resuscitation Council (UK), identified as the sole supplier capable of providing the required materials due to exclusive rights. The contract, valued at £138,137.83 gross, was signed on 30th July 2026 and will be active from 19th August 2026 to 18th August 2029, with the possibility of renewal. The procurement was carried out under the UKPGA 2023/54 legal framework and follows Northern Irish devolved regulations. The buying organisation is based at Craigavon Area Hospital in Portadown, UK.

This tender offers significant potential for businesses specialising in educational or training materials, particularly in the healthcare sector. Companies that can innovate in the development of online e-learning modules for medical training courses might find opportunities for collaboration or subcontracts with organisations like the Resuscitation Council (UK). While this specific contract is complete, understanding the procurement needs of public health entities like the Southern Health and Social Care Trust could inform future bids, especially for businesses capable of serving as exclusive or specialised suppliers in a highly regulated industry.
