This process, categorised under 'services' within the General Public Services sector, was focused on establishing a contract for training provision in Edinburgh. The course is anticipated to be delivered at the Licensing Hub, currently at the Murryburn Depot, with a future move planned to South Gyle. The procurement followed an open procedure with significant emphasis on quality (70%) against cost (30%). However, despite being active on 14th April 2026, this tender process was eventually marked as cancelled by 25th May 2026 due to an unsuccessful award status. This tender represented a potential growth opportunity for training providers, particularly those specialising in first aid certification with the capacity to manage larger training sessions up to 25 participants. It provided an opening for businesses to demonstrate their quality of service given it was heavily weighted in the award criteria. Enterprises equipped to deliver training on a consistent schedule over the proposed 92 training days in the first year, and possibly recur based on future demands, would have found this an ideal chance to expand within the public sector in Edinburgh. Furthermore, consideration of community benefits within the tender underlines potential additional value creation for businesses engaged in socially responsible practices. ## Notice The City of Edinburgh Council (the Council) are seeking to establish a contract for a provider to deliver the First Aid Awareness training element of the Taxi and Private Hire Car (PHC) Intermediate Course. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The City of Edinburgh Council (the Council) are seeking to establish a contract for a provider to deliver the First Aid Awareness training element of the Taxi and Private Hire Car (PHC) Intermediate Course.
