## Summary

South Lanarkshire Council has concluded the procurement process for the "Provision of Moving and Assisting Training," within the Health industry category. The contract, awarded under the award stage, involves the implementation of the Scottish Manual Handling Passport Scheme (SMHPS) to standardize the moving and assisting training across health and social care staff. The procurement method used was limited, due to technical reasons allowing only one suitable contractor, with NHS Lanarkshire - Salus securing the contract. The contract value is £332,611.44, with the agreement officially signed on 29th October 2024. The training is set to be delivered across South Lanarkshire, ensuring a consistent approach to reduce the risk of injury from manual handling among care staff.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for organizations specializing in health and safety training, workforce development, and compliance with health and social care standards. Companies that have a robust framework for delivering comprehensive and accredited training programmes, particularly those with a focus on manual handling and care staff education, would find this contract well-suited to their capabilities. Businesses in the health and safety sector, looking to expand their services within local authorities and National Health Service collaborations, can benefit from engaging in similar future opportunities.

### Procurement Information

The works, services or supplies can be supplied by only one suitable contractor because competition is absent for technical reasons and no alternative or substitute exists and the absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement. NHS Lanarkshire are one half of the Health and Social Care Partnership between South Lanarkshire Council and the NHS. NHS and SLC care staff are required to have their training aligned so that service users receive the same standard of care from both sides.
