## Summary

Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured a 12-month programme of Deaf Awareness Training Courses for its staff. This is a staff training service focused on improving awareness of deafness and communication needs in a healthcare setting. The service falls within health training services (CPV 80561000). The buying organisation is the NHS Trust, whose registered address is Whiston Hospital in Prescot. The awarded supplier, Deafness Resource Centre Limited, is based in St Helens and is recorded as a voluntary, community and social enterprise. The requirement is therefore relevant to organisations that design and deliver deaf awareness training for NHS or other healthcare staff, rather than to suppliers of general clinical training, equipment or facilities services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded under a below-threshold procedure; the recorded procurement method detail is “below threshold - unknown”. One lot was completed. Deafness Resource Centre Limited received the award, and the contract was signed on 24 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2027. Its value is £10,971.54 excluding VAT, or £13,165.85 including VAT. The award covers the Deaf Awareness Training Courses service for the Trust’s staff. The published data records an active award and active contract. No separate award decision date or evaluation weighting is recorded in the process, so the commercial outcome is best understood from the completed award and signed contract.

For businesses assessing future demand, this award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for deaf awareness training delivered over a full 12-month service period. A credible competitor would need proven capability to develop or deliver practical deaf awareness courses for healthcare staff, with content suitable for a large teaching hospital environment and delivery capacity sustained throughout the service period. Experience working with deaf people, disability inclusion or community-led training would be commercially relevant, particularly where it can be translated into effective staff learning. The selected supplier is a voluntary, community and social enterprise, indicating that specialist social-purpose organisations can compete successfully for this type of requirement. Providers should be able to demonstrate reliable training delivery, relevant subject expertise and the capacity to support an NHS workforce.
