Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust is seeking a higher education institution partner for academic validation, quality assurance and accreditation of The Royal Marsden School’s education portfolio. The requirement covers undergraduate and postgraduate programmes and modules, including the associated academic oversight needed to maintain their standards and recognition. This is an education and training services opportunity, including university-level adult education and personal development training. Delivery is based at the Royal Marsden’s Fulham Road location in London. The appointed partner would work with the School and Trust to support the academic governance and external recognition of its existing programmes and modules.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure above the applicable threshold. Bids must be submitted by 8 September 2026 at 15:00. The planned contract period runs from 17 November 2026 to 16 November 2031. The estimated value is between £900,000 and £1,400,000, in total. Tenderers are directed to register and apply through the Atamis e-sourcing portal. The opportunity concerns a single partnership requirement for validation, quality assurance and accreditation services. It is intended as a substantial, multi-year education services contract rather than a short-term training delivery engagement.

This opportunity suits an established higher education institution with the authority and academic infrastructure to validate undergraduate and postgraduate programmes and modules. Relevant bidders will need demonstrable expertise in academic quality assurance, programme approval, curriculum and module review, assessment oversight, and the maintenance of academic standards. Experience of accrediting or validating education delivered by another organisation would be particularly relevant, as would the ability to provide robust governance, academic scrutiny and continuing partnership support. The requirement is aimed at organisations with institutional capacity, specialist academic staff and mature quality systems, rather than small providers or community organisations delivering standalone training courses.
