Summary of the contracting process

Thirteen Housing Group Limited procured suicide awareness first-aider training and related learning services for its organisation. The requirement covers 26 half-day training courses, 13 full-day courses and workshops, together with pre-recorded sessions for future use. This is a staff training and mental-health awareness services opportunity, rather than the supply of physical first-aid equipment. Delivery covers England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, West Midlands, East Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buyer is Thirteen Housing Group Limited, a housing organisation based in Middlesbrough. The contracted service is classified as health and first-aid training services (CPV 80560000).

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Mental Health in Business Ltd. The award is active and the contract is active. The award date was not provided, while the contract was signed on 14 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. Its value is £55,295 excluding VAT and £66,354 including VAT. The procurement used a limited procedure, with competition restricted to invited suppliers. The successful supplier is an SME. The requirement comprised one lot covering all the listed suicide awareness first-aider training, workshops and pre-recorded learning services.

This procurement shows established demand from a housing organisation for structured suicide awareness and first-aider training delivered at substantial scale across England. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide both half-day and full-day courses, workshops and pre-recorded material that can be reused later. Delivery capability must support a geographically broad programme and coordinate multiple course formats for the buyer’s staff. Relevant providers are likely to be specialist mental-health training businesses able to combine live instruction with recorded learning, manage a substantial programme of sessions and demonstrate reliable delivery across the required English regions. The successful supplier’s SME status also indicates that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large national training organisation.
