## Summary

The University of Cumbria is seeking to procure services for the "Provision of L3 Certificate in emergency response ambulance driving", an award contract aimed at supporting the training of Military Medical Technicians as they transition to working within NHS ambulance services. This procurement falls under the industry category of ambulance services, with the contract period commencing on 2nd September 2019 and concluding on 2nd September 2020. The open procurement method was utilised, and while the deadline for submitting tenders was 12th July 2019, the award was published on 13th September 2019, indicating the completion of this stage in the contracting process.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the training and education sector, particularly those specialising in emergency response and ambulance driving.

## 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.
