First aid training provision

I am writing to you today regarding the procurement of First Aid Training services within the council / This could be namely ‘First Aid at Work’, ‘Emergency First Aid at Work’, ‘Paediatric First Aid’, ‘Emergency Paediatric First Aid’, or other related training that distinctly includes the phrase ‘First Aid’.

1. Was the provision of the above training the subject of a framework or contract process? 

No

2. Could you provide a list of Suppliers who applied for inclusion on each framework/contract and were successful & not successful at the PQQ & ITT stages* 

3. Contract values of each framework/contract (& any sub lots), year to date 

4. Is there an extension clause in the framework(s)/contract(s) and, if so, the duration of the extension? 

5. Has a decision been made yet on whether the framework(s)/contract(s) are being either extended or renewed? 

Following on from our response to question 1 above, we hold no information in relation to questions 2-5

6. Who is the senior officer (outside of procurement) responsible for this contract?

We do not hold this information

7. Could you advise what the local authority pay for the following training at the council:
‘First Aid at Work’, ‘Emergency First Aid at Work’, ‘Paediatric First Aid’, ‘Emergency Paediatric First Aid’, or other related training that distinctly includes the phrase ‘First Aid’.

8. How many individuals were trained and how many training courses delivered for the following courses: ‘First Aid at Work’, ‘Emergency First Aid at Work’, ‘Paediatric First Aid’, ‘Emergency Paediatric First Aid’, or other related training that distinctly includes the phrase ‘First Aid’. 

In respect of questions 7 and 8, each individual team is responsible for funding its own First Aid training and identifying the necessary number of individuals to be trained, depending upon location and other circumstances.  No central record is kept of this information; whilst we may hold this information to obtain this from every team in the council would take in excess of 18 hours and we are therefore not obliged to provide this information pursuant to s.12 of the Freedom of Information Act.

9. If this training has been the subject of a procurement process can you please provide me with a copy of the successful / winning tender.

Following our response to question 1 above, we do not hold this information and, in any event, any such document would be considered to be confidential.
