Summary of the contracting process

NHS England has successfully completed a procurement process to deliver the Mary Seacole Programme for 2026/27. The contract, valued at £9,572 and awarded to Keane Training Associates Limited, involves providing staff training services through 20 cohorts, spanning workshop delivery, virtual engagement, and assignment marking. The industry category for this procurement falls under Staff Training Services (CPV code 80511000). This contract was part of a selective procurement process, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, and is situated in London, United Kingdom. The award became active on 11th May 2026, with the contract running until 30th September 2027.

This tender represents a robust opportunity for businesses specialising in educational and training services, particularly those capable of offering scalable and innovative learning solutions with virtual component integration. Even though this particular procurement favoured established organisations over small or voluntary enterprises, it signifies a substantial demand within the public sector for professional development programmes. Businesses with a strong track record in managing large-scale staff training initiatives should monitor similar public tenders from health sector authorities like NHS England, to further support expansion and market presence.
