Summary of the contracting process

The Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care is seeking research proposals on how pre-registration education and training for health and care professionals could better uphold professionalism, foster positive working cultures and prevent future misconduct. The work is research and related consultancy, intended to inform the Authority’s understanding of the role education and training can play in these areas. The buying organisation is the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care. The recorded delivery location is London. This is a research services requirement rather than a request to deliver professional training or provide frontline health and care services.

The buyer invited offers through an open, below-threshold procedure. The query deadline was 23:59 on 8 October 2026, and proposals were due by 23:59 on 14 October 2026. The intended contract period runs from 16 November 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender data gives no estimated value. The evaluation basis is not set out in the summary of requirements. The opportunity is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The scope centres on research into pre-registration education and training, professionalism, workplace culture and prevention of misconduct among health and care professionals.

This requirement is best suited to research organisations and consultancies with the ability to investigate professional education and training in health and care, and to analyse how education can influence professional conduct and working cultures. Relevant experience could include health and care workforce research, professional standards, education and training evaluation, misconduct prevention, or organisational culture. The work calls for the capacity to develop and deliver a focused research project within the stated contract period and to present findings relevant to the Professional Standards Authority’s remit. SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises are identified as suitable bidders. No particular accreditation, named methodology, staffing level or technical qualification is stated in the available tender information.
