UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kent and Medway Mental Health NHS Trust bought staff training services: 12 Immediate Life Support (ILS) courses, with 12 staff attending each session. The courses provide practical life-support training for Trust staff. The delivery locations are in Kent, within the areas identified in the procurement data as Maidstone and Medway. The buyer is Kent and Medway Mental Health NHS Trust. This is a defined training requirement rather than a general training programme: suppliers would need to deliver repeated ILS sessions for groups of staff at the Trust’s locations.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Trust used a below-threshold limited competition for one lot. A to E Training & Solutions Ltd was selected and awarded the contract for £13,872. The contract was signed on 3 June 2026 and runs from 1 July to 31 October 2026. The award date is not separately stated. The procurement description specifies 12 courses and 12 staff per session; the contract value is for the award as a whole. No award evaluation criteria are stated in the procurement data.

This award demonstrates demand from Kent and Medway Mental Health NHS Trust for focused staff training in Immediate Life Support, delivered to multiple groups at locations in Kent. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to provide ILS training and have the capacity to run a series of sessions for groups of 12 staff, while delivering across the Trust’s local sites. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized business, showing that this requirement was delivered by an SME rather than necessarily requiring a large training provider. The Trust used a limited competition for this below-threshold purchase, so suppliers should be prepared to compete through a restricted process rather than rely on an open tender route.
