Summary of the contracting process

Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust is planning to procure resuscitation training for clinical teams across its sites in London. The service is expected to provide suitably qualified instructors to deliver Basic Life Support, Hospital Life Support, Paediatric Hospital Life Support and Newborn Life Support update training. The buyer is undertaking preliminary market engagement to understand supplier capability and capacity, market innovation, delivery models and possible procurement approaches. Suppliers are invited to contribute through a market engagement questionnaire, which will inform the Trust’s requirements, procurement strategy and service specification. This is preparatory engagement, not an invitation to tender or a commitment to run a procurement or award a contract.

The process is at planning stage. The Trust expects to publish a future procurement notice by 29 January 2027. The anticipated single-lot contract is scheduled to run from 1 July 2027 to 30 June 2030, with a possible extension to 30 June 2031. Its estimated value is £237,000 excluding VAT (£284,400 including VAT). The Trust is currently conducting voluntary preliminary market engagement, with questionnaire responses expected by 30 October 2026. Suppliers can participate or not without advantage or disadvantage in any later competition. The engagement is intended to help shape the procurement approach and specification; no competition procedure or evaluation criteria have yet been set out.

This service is likely to suit providers with the capacity to supply suitably qualified resuscitation instructors and deliver a range of clinical training programmes across multiple Trust sites. Relevant experience in Basic Life Support, Hospital Life Support, Paediatric Hospital Life Support and Newborn Life Support update training would align with the anticipated scope. The Trust is seeking market insight on supplier capability, capacity, innovative approaches and delivery models, so providers with practical proposals for organising and delivering these programmes can help shape the eventual requirement through the voluntary engagement. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. No specific instructor credentials, professional accreditations or minimum experience thresholds are described at this planning stage; suppliers should use the market engagement to inform the Trust about their capabilities and delivery options.
