UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Coventry City Council procured paediatric first aid courses for staff working in Early Years and Childcare settings. The requirement is for education and training services, covering delivery in Coventry and serving council-employed staff in those settings. The council is the public-sector buyer. This opportunity is relevant to organisations that provide paediatric first aid training for early-years and childcare workforces, rather than to suppliers of general medical equipment or unrelated training. The requirement represents a council-wide workforce training need connected to the operation of Early Years and Childcare services. It is a service contract focused on course provision and training delivery, with the awarded service classified under education and training services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Coventry City Council selected TIGERLILY FIRST AID TRAINING LTD, an active small-business supplier, for the single lot. The award was made on 5 March 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £35,000 excluding VAT, or £42,000 including VAT. The council holds an option to extend the contract by one further 12-month period, provided the service meets its key performance indicators; the maximum contract end date is 31 March 2028. The stated requirement was evaluated through a limited competition.

This award demonstrates established demand from Coventry City Council for paediatric first aid training for personnel in Early Years and Childcare settings. A credible future competitor would need to deliver this specialist training reliably to a council workforce, understand the practical requirements of early-years and childcare environments, and provide a service capable of meeting agreed key performance indicators. The successful supplier is a small business, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large national training provider. Relevant organisations include providers with demonstrable paediatric first aid course capability, appropriate trainers and the operational capacity to schedule and deliver training across Coventry. Performance against service measures will be important to retaining confidence in the provision.
