## Summary

North Somerset Council procured regulated first-aid training services for its employees and members of the public, delivered in North Somerset. The annual programme covers First Aid at Work, requalification, emergency first aid, paediatric first aid, refresher sessions, and a bespoke course for first aid for children and adults. Training must be regulated by a recognised awarding body, such as Ofqual, SQA or the Welsh Government, and provide valid certification where applicable. This is a recurring training requirement spanning workplace, emergency and child-focused first aid, rather than a purchase of equipment or a one-off course.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. Green Cross Training Ltd was selected on 10 August 2026, with an awarded value of £190,355. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 August 2029. The tender described an initial 36-month term, with possible extensions up to 60 months subject to annual reviews. The procurement's estimated value was £190,000. The original submission deadline was 29 June 2026 at 13:00. The requirement is presented as one programme of courses, with no separate lots described. North Somerset Council considered the service suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. The stated requirement centres on regulated training and valid certification where applicable.

For providers of accredited first-aid training, this award demonstrates North Somerset Council’s demand for a broad annual programme serving both council employees and members of the public. A credible competitor would need to deliver workplace, emergency and paediatric first aid, requalification and refresher training, as well as bespoke provision for children and adults. The key capability is delivering the full course range to a recognised regulatory standard, with valid certification where applicable. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that delivery at this programme’s scale is achievable by a smaller provider. Businesses with the relevant regulated course portfolio and capacity to serve both workforce and public learners are best placed to compete when this requirement returns to market.
