The procurement process is in the open tender stage, with the expression of interest window having commenced on 6th March 2018 and closing on 20th March 2018. The contract period is set to run from 2nd September 2018 to 1st September 2023, and the project falls under the category of staff training services, specifically health and first-aid training services. This tender provides a significant opportunity for training providers, especially those with expertise in health and first-aid training services. Businesses specialising in educational and training services that align with the NHS's requirements will find this a suitable avenue for growth. Providers must be qualified to deliver high-quality training sessions in line with the Resuscitation Council guidelines, and there is potential for partnerships or collaborations to ensure business continuity in training provision. ## Notice Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust (KCHFT) invites expressions of interest from suitably qualified training providers to undertake the provision of our immediate life support, paediatric immediate life support and specialist basic life support sessions. KCHFT's Education and Workforce Development department manages the training programme for some 5,500 members of staff employed across the whole of Kent, parts of East Sussex and London. The life support training is monitored in line with guidelines from the Resuscitation Council. Our non-specialist Basic Life Support training programme is provided via in house resources, however, for business continuity we would like to request any potential providers be able to cover this provision of training as a contingency also. Additional information: This contract opportunity has been advertised on the Supplying to NHS portal https://procontract.due-north.com and can only be accessed via this portal. Once the expression of interest stage has closed we will release the tender documents to all bidders. The expression of interest window will open from 2 PM on the 6th March 2018. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5538dbe2-4051-4f2c-8c44-512be035588c | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Aug 2018 | | Submission deadline | 20 Mar 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 23 Jun 2018 | | Contract period | 1 Sep 2018 - 1 Sep 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £71,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | KENT COMMUNITY HEALTH NHS FOUNDATION TRUST | | Locality | ASHFORD | | Post town | Tonbridge | | Postcode | TN25 4AZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ4 Kent | | ITL 3 | TLJ45 Mid Kent | | Local authority | Ashford | | Electoral ward | Goat Lees | | Westminster constituency | Ashford | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | A+A TRAINING | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80511000 - Staff training services - 80521000 - Training programme services - 80560000 - Health and first-aid training services ## Release History - 22 Aug 2018 at 14:08 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5538dbe2-4051-4f2c-8c44-512be035588c - 6 Mar 2018 at 12:47 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5538dbe2-4051-4f2c-8c44-512be035588c - 6 Mar 2018 at 12:31 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5538dbe2-4051-4f2c-8c44-512be035588c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5538dbe2-4051-4f2c-8c44-512be035588c 22nd August 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.kentcht.nhs.uk - https://procontract.due-north.com ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
