Summary of the contracting process

South Eastern Health & Social Care Trust bought resuscitation manuals, staff registration on resuscitation courses and an annual membership fee. The requirement combines printed materials with access to training-related registration and membership services. The procurement was for the Trust, headquartered at the Ulster Hospital in Belfast, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The goods category is printed matter and related products, classified under CPV 22000000. The requirement was arranged as one lot and covers the Trust’s resuscitation-related purchasing needs. It therefore suits organisations supplying specialist resuscitation manuals and associated course or membership services, rather than general stationery suppliers or providers of unrelated healthcare training.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award. The stated rationale was that only one supplier could provide the requirement for technical reasons, under the applicable Northern Irish devolved regulations. The contract was awarded to RESUSCITATION COUNCIL (UK) on 30 June 2026 for £70,000 excluding VAT, or £84,000 including VAT. The contract was signed on 14 July 2026 and runs from 31 December 2028 to 31 December 2028. It is active and includes an option for staff course registration and an annual membership fee. The procurement was above the relevant threshold. Evaluation was not competitive because the Trust relied on the single-supplier technical-reasons justification for the direct award.

For a supplier that did not win, this award indicates a defined requirement for resuscitation publications linked to staff course registration and annual membership. A credible future competitor would need to supply the relevant manuals and provide, or have an established route to provide, registration for resuscitation courses and membership services as one connected offer. The buyer’s stated reason for selecting the incumbent was the absence of competition for technical reasons, so generic print capability alone would be unlikely to be sufficient. Suppliers would need to demonstrate a distinctive technical capability and authority in this specific resuscitation field, together with the operational capacity to support both physical materials and staff-facing course and membership arrangements for a health and social care organisation.
