## Summary

The University of Cumbria is seeking to procure services for the provision of the L3 Certificate in Emergency Response Ambulance Driving (LS CERAD). This procurement is categorised under the ambulance services industry and is currently in the tender stage, with submissions closing on 12 July 2019. The contract is set to commence on 2 September 2019 and will last for one year. Businesses looking to participate should note the active status of this open procurement, designed to train future cohorts of paramedics, including military technicians, in essential driving qualifications.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for training organisations that specialise in emergency response driving qualifications, particularly those with capabilities aligned to HCPC standards. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand their services in the healthcare training sector would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, ensuring they meet the required accreditation and standards necessary for participation. The successful delivery of this training not only aids the immediate needs of the University of Cumbria's cohorts but also enhances the broader capability of NHS ambulance services in the North West of England.

## 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.
