This open competition tender was completed and awarded under the procurement stage 'Award,' with a total framework value of £240,000, set below the threshold. The procurement process followed the 'light-touch' regime and was intended for services, specifically fitting within the education and training sector, classified by CPV code 80000000. The framework agreement commenced on 9th December 2025 and is scheduled to run until 8th December 2028, with an optional extension for a further 12 months. This contract covers training delivery locations within the UK's UKL14 region, primarily at Council premises such as libraries, schools, and care homes. Business opportunities arising from this framework are significant for organisations specialising in education and training, particularly those capable of providing bespoke first aid courses. The framework allows for a ranking approach where the top provider is given preference for capacity allocation, making it suitable for SMEs and voluntary, social, and community enterprises interested in extending their service offerings within the public sector. With provisions to include specialist content, businesses that can deliver tailored training on issues like anaphylaxis management or managing catastrophic bleeding will find this framework particularly beneficial. Therefore, entities with expertise in these areas and the ability to handle multiple training sessions simultaneously on different venues hold a competitive edge in this procurement arrangement. ## Notice THIS IS NOT A TENDERING OPPORTUNITY The Council has set up a Framework to provide First Aid Training related courses. There is one Lot, where the chosen Provider(s) will provide all courses mentioned below: Paediatric Emergency First Aid at Work (one day course) First Aid at Work (three-day course) Emergency First Aid at Work (one day course) ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: There is an option to extend this Framework by up to 12 months ### Planning Information Carmarthenshire County Council is preparing to establish a framework for the delivery of first aid training courses, including Paediatric Emergency First Aid at Work (one day), First Aid at Work (three day), Emergency First Aid at Work (one day), and a range of specialist courses such as Anaphylaxis Management, Catastrophic Bleeding Management, and Choking Rescue Techniques in Learning Disabilities settings. As part of our preliminary market engagement, we are seeking to understand the current market landscape, identify organisations capable of delivering these courses, and explore how Providers can meet our specific requirements. The information gathered through this questionnaire will help inform the development of our specification and procurement approach, ensuring that the framework is robust, fit for purpose, and aligned with best practice. The questionnaire can be accessed via the following link, https://forms.office.com/e/44hSpV0q1D Participation in this exercise is not part of a formal procurement process and does not constitute a commitment to tender or guarantee of future work. All responses will be treated in confidence and used solely to inform our planning and decision-making. We welcome input from all interested providers, including those new to public sector contracts.
