First Aid Training Tenders and Contracts

First aid training covers courses that certify staff to give first aid at work. That includes first aid at work and emergency first aid at work courses, requalification training when certificates expire, mental health first aid courses for staff, and life support and resuscitation courses for clinical staff.

Stotles brings together first aid training tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.

If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. Education and training boards in Ireland and universities in the UK often set up training panels and dynamic purchasing systems, so courses are then called off from approved providers.

First aid training tenders are scored on course content and accreditation, trainer qualifications, flexibility of dates and locations, and price per delegate. Buyers often appoint a panel of providers, so getting onto the panel comes before winning individual courses.

First aid at work courses are expected to be run by competent training providers in line with Health and Safety Executive guidance, often through an accredited awarding body, and trainers must hold current qualifications. Tenders usually set minimum insurance cover, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar training contracts at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.

Both. A smaller organisation buys a single contract to train its employees each year, while a larger one with staff spread across a country sets up a framework split into regional lots and calls off courses as they are needed.

First aid training is bought by public bodies that have to keep staff first aid certificates current. Government departments and agencies with field-based staff are among the buyers, and larger organisations set up a framework so several providers can deliver courses across their regions.

Read workforce training plans, certificate renewal cycles, health and safety training strategies and expiry dates for existing training contracts, which show work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.

First aid training notices carry 80500000 (Training services), 80511000 (Staff training services) and 80561000 (Health training services).
