## Summary

The University of Cumbria is seeking to procure services for the provision of a Level 3 Certificate in Emergency Response Ambulance Driving through an open tender process. The procurement falls under the services category of ambulance services, with a focus on enhancing the training of Military Medical Technicians who are set to qualify as Paramedics. The tender period is active, with submissions due by 12 July 2019, and the expected contract duration runs from 2 September 2019 to 2 September 2020. The location for the delivery of services is in the North West region of the United Kingdom, specifically to be conducted at the University’s premises in Carlisle.

This opportunity is ideal for training organisations that specialise in emergency medical services and can offer recognised qualifications. Businesses that provide educational and training services for ambulance driving, particularly those accredited by recognised bodies like Future Quals, will find significant value in this tender. The University seeks to nurture long-term partnerships with suitable providers, enabling them to expand their training capabilities and contribute to the professional development of healthcare personnel within the military and NHS sectors.

## Notice

The University of Cumbria has been actively developing students to HCPC registration as Paramedics for a number of years. We are successfully growing the existing pre-hospital medicine academic offering and have long term contracts in place with NHS ambulance services, and all branches of the military. We are currently developing a cohort of twenty (20) Military Medical Technicians, who will qualify as Paramedics in October 2019. Subsequently they will require a driving qualification which will afford them the opportunity to work in an NHS Ambulance environment. The contract will also cover future cohorts requiring training within the contract period. Therefore, we seek to procure the services of a training organisation who can provide L3 Certificate in Emergency Response Ambulance Driving as set out in the Future Quals (accrediting body) standards, or equivalent and recognised by HCPC.
