The Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS) Advanced Practitioner (AP) training programme requires staff to achieve a Postgraduate Diploma (PG DIp) in Advanced Practice and to complete a SAS-based Competency Framework to achieve final sign off. We therefore seek to identify advanced practice programmes that are accessible to staff across Scotland and can meet the SAS Advanced Practice programme requirements, to create an ‘approved AP programme provider’ list.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 80. The category anchor is Adult-education services at university level (80430000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 806,6562 median · 47.9 average (3,112 of 6,656 with a bid count)3.2 average (3,414 of 6,656 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
