Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Digital is leading the completion of the 'GDS Academy Training Contract', an initiative focused on education and training services under the government agenda of upskilling public bodies. This contract involves a single tender action procurement method with a total value of £300,000. The contract spans from 19th May 2018 to 30th April 2022, with the procurement process currently in the award stage. The award was issued on 1st May 2018, and as a part of this ongoing collaboration, training will be provided at a lower cost compared to external training providers. The main delivery location is Leeds, England (postcode LS1 6AE), covering widespread areas including British Overseas Territories and Europe.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in education and training services, and small or medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of delivering innovative training solutions. Companies focusing on public sector training could greatly benefit as the contract is intended to fulfil the skills development needs of public bodies, aligning with the changing budgetary structure that now requires a fee for services previously offered for free. Businesses with a track record in public training, especially those that can demonstrate value for money or bespoke training programmes, would be well-positioned to compete for this contract and expand their services within the public sector.

Notice Title

GDS Academy Training Contract

Notice Description

This is an Inter-governmental department SLA agreement relationship between GDS Academy (Part of the Cabinet Office) and NHS Digital. It fits the government agenda of upskilling other public bodies through training and development. The NHS Digital's Learning & Development team are at the forefront of this project. The Spend on this contract is relatively low compared to obtaining the same training from an external, non-governmental or private training provider and the agreement is based on a SLA relationship between GDS Academy and NHS Digital. This used to be free of charge but because of the change in budget they now charge for the training only. This is an on-going contract guided by the attached SLA document and a MOU.
