Summary of the contracting process

Middlesbrough Council procured first aid training for its employees. This is a staff training service, with the requirement classified as education and training. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, for the Council’s workforce. The procurement was arranged as a single lot and was considered suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The service supports employees to gain or maintain first aid knowledge and skills; the published description does not set out specific course types, learner numbers or delivery formats.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Relyon Nutec Ltd on 16 September 2026. The award records a value of £125,000 excluding VAT and £175,000 including VAT. It was run as an open competition below the applicable threshold. The original submission deadline was 9 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with two possible 12-month extensions, giving a latest stated end date of 30 September 2031. There was one lot. Evaluation was weighted 70% for quality and 30% for price. Nineteen bids were recorded, all reaching the final stage; all 19 final-stage bids were from SMEs.

This award shows that Middlesbrough Council buys employee first aid training through an open competition, with quality carrying substantially more weight than price. Suppliers competing for a future requirement should be able to deliver credible workplace first aid training to a council workforce and demonstrate the quality of their teaching, course delivery and learner outcomes. The strong SME participation in this competition indicates that the requirement can attract smaller providers as well as larger training businesses. The published requirement gives no specific accreditation, course syllabus, learner volume or staffing capacity threshold, so the clear commercial signals are relevant training capability and a convincing quality case, alongside competitive pricing. The contract’s multi-year term and extension options indicate a continuing service rather than a one-off training event.
