First Aid and Paramedic Services
Authority: Liverpool Experience Campus Ltd (Public body)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionLiverpool Experience Campus (LEX) is looking for suitably qualified suppliers of event first aid and paramedic services for events that are held on Campus across the M&S Bank Arena, the Auditorium, Conference Centre and Exhibition Centre Liverpool. The aim for this service is to ensure that there is an appropriate level of medical, first aid and ambulance provision at an event to keep attendees safe and minimise the impact on local NHS services.
The supplier will be required to:
- Undertake a medical, ambulance and first aid assessment
- Produce a medical staffing plan prior to each event to ensure that staff are deployed appropriately
- Provide medical provision for the full duration of each event, including build up and derig
Further information can be found within the tender documentation, which is available via Delta eSourcing Portal.
LEX is looking to award an initial 2-year contract with the option to extend for a further 2-year period. Extension will be at the sole discretion of LEX. The contract has been valued at approximately £100,000 per year and therefore is valued at £400,000 for the entire contract including optional extensions.
The contract start date will be approximately Thursday 1st April 2027. However, the exact start date will need to be flexible depending on LEX event bookings scheduled during this Easter holiday time. For example, if there is an event that covers the Easter school holidays and ends on Sunday 4th April 2027, then this contract will commence on Monday 5th April 2027. The exact start date will be confirmed to the successful tenderer either on contract award or event confirmation – whichever is sooner.
Tenderers are invited to attend an individual tenderer’s tour of the Liverpool Experience Campus operations to view the site and operational areas that are currently used for first aid and paramedic services to assist in tender preparation. These site visits will be available at the sole discretion of LEX between the dates of Tuesday 3rd and Friday 13th November 2026 and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Tenderers are required to contact the procurement team as soon as possible via the Delta eSourcing Portal messaging facility to arrange this. Any requests received after Friday 13th November 2026 may not be considered by LEX due to operational and security constraints.

How this buyer will score bids.
The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).
Published sub-criteria (2)
- Quality (including a presentation with a 10% weighting): 70%
- Price: 30%
Published award criteria (2)
- Price
- Quality (including a presentation with a 10% weighting)
No conditions of participation were published on the notice; check the tender documents.
- Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- Turnover usually expected at this size: about £399,453 (twice the annual value).
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula. Turnover is an indicative market norm (≈2× annual value), not a published condition.

How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.
i
How often small and medium firms win.
Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.
The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.
Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.
i
How often local firms win similar work.
Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.
Local means the winner is registered in the region where that award was delivered. The market figure counts awards delivered in North West England.
A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners were registered outside the region where that award was delivered.
i
How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.
Middle value in days from the bid deadline to the award date, on competitions that published both.
Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.
Half of these awards have an award date within 57 days of the bid deadline.
i
How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.
Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.
The market share is a minimum: some awards have no bid count.
Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.
Direct awards or one recorded bid are common here. Check the route before spending time on a bid.
How many bids did past lots attract?
i
How many bids past lots received.
Each colour is a bid-count range. Only competed lots with a published count are included.

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
