Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, managed by NHS England, focuses on a direct award for the "Medical Training Initiative (MTI) 2025/26". This initiative belongs to the education and training services category under CPV code 80000000. The project, classified within the Light Touch Regime, is contracted for a 12-month duration, commencing on 1st April 2025 and ending on 31st March 2026, with an awarded contract value of £176,764. Geographically, the project addresses services across significant regions including the British Overseas Territories and the United Kingdom. This procurement stage is marked as "complete" and achievements have been published as of 21st November 2025.

Opportunities for business growth through this tender are substantial, especially for organisations engaged in educational and medical training services. Although the process was conducted via single tender action below the threshold, it highlights the potential for similar organisations, even multicountry or globally operating entities, to engage with NHS England for future partnerships. However, neither SME nor VCSE entities were targeted, suggesting a preference for well-established organisations like The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, which successfully secured the contract. This implies that businesses looking to engage in similar procurements might need substantial experience or a significant service scale to be competitive.
