Summary of the contracting process

NHS England procured virtual, off-the-shelf cyber security training to develop cyber security capability across the NHS. This is a professional education and training services requirement, classified under CPV 80000000. The training is intended for NHS organisations and is delivered virtually, with the procurement associated with NHS England in London and the United Kingdom. The scope is focused on ready-made cyber security learning rather than bespoke course development, consultancy or physical infrastructure. Businesses relevant to this requirement include providers of established online cyber security training programmes, particularly those able to support capability development across a large and complex healthcare environment. The requirement sits within the learning and training category and concerns services rather than goods or works.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. NHS England used a selective call-off from the CCS RM6219 Learning and Training dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 5 May 2026 at 12:00. KPMG LLP was awarded the contract on 4 August 2026 for £8,997,915 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 4 August 2026 to 3 August 2029. The award is recorded as active. The procurement was treated as a single requirement, with no separate lots identified. It was categorised as a services contract. The published outcome identifies KPMG LLP as the selected supplier. The procurement record also states that the opportunity was not suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates substantial NHS demand for scalable, virtual cyber security training delivered through an established public-sector learning and training route. A credible future competitor would need a mature off-the-shelf training portfolio, strong coverage of cyber security topics and the ability to support capability development across NHS organisations rather than a small single-site audience. Important commercial strengths would include reliable virtual delivery, repeatable learner access, robust service management and the capacity to operate in a complex national healthcare environment. Providers should also be comfortable competing through a dynamic purchasing system call-off and demonstrating that their existing courses can meet a public body's operational and workforce requirements. Larger suppliers with the capacity to manage a high-volume, multi-organisation service are likely to be best placed.
