Summary of the contracting process

Coventry City Council has completed a procurement process titled "COV - Paediatric First Aid Courses (RFQ)" under the category of education and training services. The tender was facilitated through a limited competition procurement method, aimed at offering paediatric first aid courses for staff in Early Years and Childcare settings. The procurement process culminated in an award on 16th July 2026, with the service provision contracted from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027 in the UKG33 region, Coventry. Coventry City Council, a public authority in sub-central government, served as the buying organisation with a contract valued at £35,000 (gross value £42,000), with an opportunity for a one-year renewal pending service performance. Tigerlily First Aid Training Ltd secured the contract as the supplier.

This tender represents a strategic opportunity for businesses in the education and training sector, particularly those specialising in first aid and healthcare training. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with proven capabilities in delivering professional training services are well-suited to participate in similar future contracts. The procurement offers a chance to strengthen business relationships with public authorities and potentially secure annual extensions based on key performance indicators. The nature of this award underscores the possibility for businesses to penetrate local government markets and expand their client base by aligning with public service needs, thus fostering business growth.
