## Summary

Belfast Health & Social Care Trust procured life-support training courses for its clinical workforce. The requirement covers the courses, learning platforms, training materials and registration fees needed to deliver assessed resuscitation training to relevant Trust staff. The training is intended to provide nationally recognised accreditation and certification through the Advanced Life Support Group (ALSG). The buyer is Belfast Health & Social Care Trust, and the training is for staff in Belfast, Northern Ireland. This is a staff-training service rather than a purchase of clinical equipment or direct patient-care provision. ALSG’s role includes the accreditation and certification associated with the programmes, as well as their course materials and quality assurance arrangements.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Advanced Life Support Group. The Trust used a direct award, citing ALSG’s exclusive rights and technical position as the sole owner and provider of the required accreditation, certification, course materials and quality assurance. The award was made on 5 October 2026. The contract period runs from 19 October 2026 to 18 October 2031. The awarded value is £50,000 excluding VAT (£60,000 including VAT). The requirement was arranged as one lot. The stated basis for the decision was that only ALSG could provide the official ALSG accreditation and certification required for the Trust’s clinical workforce.

This award demonstrates demand from Belfast Health & Social Care Trust for assessed resuscitation training for its clinical workforce, including course access, learning platforms, materials and registration. For this specific requirement, the decisive capability was the ability to provide official ALSG accreditation and certification, together with the associated course materials and quality assurance. The Trust’s stated rationale identifies ALSG as the sole provider of these elements, so a supplier without those rights and provision would not meet the requirement as described. Businesses assessing similar future work should consider whether they can deliver the accredited programme itself or support its delivery under an arrangement that preserves the required certification and quality assurance. The contract represents a multi-year training service for relevant Trust staff.

## Notice

### Procurement Information

Belfast Health and Social Care Trust intends to award a contract to Advanced Life Support Group for the provision of Life Support training accreditation and certification services. The Trust requires nationally recognised ALSG -accredited training and certification for its clinical workforce. ALSG is the sole owner and provider of the accreditation, certification, course materials and quality assurance arrangements associated with these programmes. No alternative supplier can provide official ALSG accreditation or certification. It has been therefore determined that only ALSG can meet its requirements and that the contract may be awarded directly under the Procurement Act 2023 due to the absence of competition for technical reasons and the existence of exclusive rights. The absence of competition is not a result of the artificial narrowing of the parameters of the procurement.
