Summary of the contracting process

Southern Health and Social Care Trust bought course manuals and registration fees from the Resuscitation Council (UK). The materials support candidates undertaking Life Support Courses alongside online learning modules: candidates need them to prepare for the courses and attend successfully. The requirement covers resuscitation-related course materials and associated registration, classified under anaesthesia and resuscitation. The courses are run under the auspices of, and accredited by, the Resuscitation Council (UK), which supplied the requirement. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. This is a healthcare training-related procurement rather than a general education materials contract, and is relevant to organisations that provide recognised life-support training, course registration, or the associated specialist manuals.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded through a direct award. The Trust awarded the single lot to Resuscitation Council (UK) on 28 May 2026 because it considered the organisation the sole supplier, with the courses operating under its auspices and accreditation. The award and contract value is £115,114.86 excluding VAT and £138,137.83 including VAT. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and runs from 19 August 2026 to 18 August 2029, with a maximum extent to 18 February 2030. Renewal is allowed, described in the contract as monthly if required, so that courses and manual purchases can continue. The award and contract are active.

This procurement demonstrates sustained demand from a Northern Irish health and social care provider for life-support course delivery, registration and the manuals needed to support it. A credible future competitor would need to provide specialist resuscitation training materials and manage candidate registration as an integrated service, while supporting online learning and classroom-based Life Support Courses. Experience of delivering courses under an established professional body’s auspices, and evidence that the courses are accredited by the relevant body, would be central to credibility. Suppliers would also need the operational capacity to support ongoing healthcare training and repeat manual purchases throughout a multi-year arrangement, including any required renewal periods. Organisations without recognised course ownership, accreditation or equivalent technical rights may face the same sole-supplier barrier.
