## Summary

North East Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust is procuring a virtual reality training and exercising platform for emergency preparedness, resilience and response (EPRR). The service will provide immersive, realistic and repeatable training in Ten Second Triage during major incidents, mass-casualty events and complex emergency responses. It is intended for frontline operational staff, clinical personnel, tactical commanders, resilience personnel and students, supporting the assessment, categorisation and management of casualties in the earliest stages of an incident. The platform should build competence, confidence, decision-making and situational awareness while reducing the operational burden of live exercises. The requirement is for software and information systems, including training and simulation services, delivered for the Trust’s wider EPRR training and exercising programme.

The procurement has reached tender: the Trust invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Suppliers could submit electronic responses, with RFQs submitted through the Atamis platform. The deadline for enquiries was 31 August 2026 at 12:00, and the offer deadline was 7 September 2026 at 12:00. The single requirement has an estimated value of £60,900 excluding VAT (£73,080 including VAT). The contract period is 10 September 2026 to 9 September 2029. Evaluation is split equally between quality and price, each weighted at 50%. The buyer is seeking one solution under the procurement, with the contract covering the provision and support of the virtual reality training platform.

This opportunity suits suppliers with an established virtual reality training or simulation platform that can deliver realistic emergency-response scenarios and support repeatable individual and group exercises. Strong candidates will understand major-incident management, mass-casualty response and Ten Second Triage, and will be able to translate these requirements into engaging training for operational, clinical, tactical, resilience and student users. The solution needs to be scalable, evidence-based and supported throughout delivery, with sufficient usability and realism to develop decision-making, confidence and situational awareness. Suppliers should also be able to integrate the platform into an NHS ambulance trust’s existing EPRR training and exercising programme, reducing reliance on resource-intensive live exercises while providing a consistent environment for assessment and skills development.
