The requirement covers Emergency First Aid at Work, First Aid at Work initial and refresher courses, Paediatric First Aid and specialist modules needed to meet statutory and operational requirements. Training must support mandatory workplace competencies, a safe working environment and regulatory compliance. The provider will deliver high-quality instruction suitable for a diverse workforce, with training available across the Council’s relevant operational settings in Middlesbrough. The service also includes issuing digital or physical certificates, maintaining training records, providing attendance and performance reporting, and supporting the Council with compliance monitoring. This is an education and training services opportunity, with a health and social work services classification also applying.

The procurement has reached tender: Middlesbrough Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bids were due by 9 September 2026 at 12:00. The procurement has one lot, with an estimated value of £125,000 including VAT. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with an option for two 12-month extensions, allowing the arrangement to continue until 30 September 2031.
