What is being bought

Published requirement description

NEAS is seeking to procure a Virtual Reality (VR) training and exercising platform to support the delivery of high-quality, immersive training in the application of Ten Second Triage during major incidents, mass casualty events, and complex emergency responses.

The Trust requires a scalable and realistic solution capable of supporting frontline operational staff, clinical personnel, tactical commanders, resilience personnel, and students in the assessment, categorisation, and management of casualties during the earliest stages of a major incident response.

The solution should provide an engaging and repeatable training environment that supports the development of competence, confidence, decision-making and situational awareness while reducing the operational burden associated with live exercises.

The Trust is seeking a supplier capable of delivering an established, supported and evidence-based solution that can be integrated into the organisation's wider EPRR training and exercising programme.

What this means for your bid

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
