This procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on staff training and health training services. The tender is currently active, with submissions due by 28th July 2022, and training courses set to commence on 4th October 2022, lasting through to October 2025, with options for extension. All training will take place via MS Teams, serving locations in Bedford and the broader East of England region. This tender presents significant opportunities for training organisations, particularly those specialising in mental health education and employee development. Small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises, would be well-positioned to compete in this procurement, given their ability to provide bespoke training packages tailored to the needs of the ambulance service's Wellbeing Champions and managers.
