Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS England and NHS Improvement have completed the award stage of the NHSE Faculty Framework contract, which falls under the industry category of Training Services (CPV 80500000). The contract supports leadership and talent development within the health and care sector, aligning with the NHS Constitution’s values. The procurement followed an open procedure above threshold, with the procurement stage now marked as "award." The contract runs from 15th May 2023 to 14th May 2026, and the delivery address is in London, SE1 8UG.

This tender invites opportunities for growth, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as the framework encourages involvement from such entities and awards contracts through mini-competitions. Businesses skilled in providing leadership and management training services, particularly those that can offer innovative solutions tailored to future healthcare leadership needs, would be well-positioned to compete. The zero-value framework suggests a flexible approach, where specific contracts are awarded based on further competition under call-off agreements, allowing suppliers to engage dynamically based on evolving NHS requirements.
