UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Cheshire & Mersey NHS Foundation Trust procured services for Resuscitation Council UK (RCUK) course accreditation, candidate registration and the provision of mandatory educational materials. The requirement is for health and first-aid training-related support, covering the administration and learning resources associated with RCUK courses rather than general healthcare delivery. Services are intended for the Trust’s area in Cheshire and Merseyside, with the buying organisation based in Warrington. The selected provider is Resuscitation Council (UK), a London-based small organisation. The requirement is relevant to organisations that accredit or administer recognised resuscitation training, register course candidates and supply associated educational materials for NHS or comparable healthcare customers.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was completed. Resuscitation Council (UK) was selected as the supplier, and the contract was signed on 16 September 2026. The contract runs from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2027 and is valued at £59,999 gross. The contract is active. The published requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, under the legal basis recorded for the process. The outcome therefore reflects a single-provider appointment for the RCUK course registration and accreditation requirement, with the selected supplier responsible for the contracted course-related services and mandatory educational material.

This requirement indicates demand from an NHS foundation trust for a specialist provider able to deliver recognised resuscitation-course accreditation, manage candidate registrations and provide mandatory educational resources as one service. A credible future competitor would need established expertise in resuscitation and first-aid training, authority to accredit or administer relevant courses, reliable systems for registering candidates and the capacity to supply compliant learning materials. Experience of supporting NHS customers or other healthcare organisations would help demonstrate operational understanding, quality assurance and dependable administration. The selected supplier is a small organisation, suggesting that specialist capability and a focused service model can be relevant to this scale of requirement. Providers considering similar work should be able to evidence consistent course standards, accurate records and delivery across Cheshire and Merseyside.
