## Summary

The Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust recently completed a public procurement process for a Helicopter Firefighting Course, designated under the education and training services category. The procurement process began on 26th January 2026 and the contract is set to run until 25th January 2027. Located in Leeds, West Yorkshire, this contract was awarded to SERCO LIMITED through a direct procurement method classified as "below threshold - without competition." This process was part of a service provision aimed at equipping the Leeds General Infirmary Helipad Fire Response Team with bespoke firefighting training, facilitated by SERCO LIMITED as the sole supplier. The contract, worth £13,638 gross, was officially signed on 25th January 2026.

This contract presents growth opportunities for businesses specializing in education and training services, particularly those capable of providing niche or bespoke training courses. While this particular contract was awarded directly to SERCO LIMITED, there may be similar opportunities in the future for businesses prepared to collaborate on training or safety services within healthcare settings. Such contracts are well-suited to companies with a robust capacity to deliver specialised training in emergency response scenarios, particularly those looking to engage with public sector organisations such as NHS Trusts.
