Summary of the contracting process

In a recently concluded procurement process, NHS England, based in London, has awarded a contract titled "MCIPS Academy - Second provider" as part of their Centre of Excellence initiative. This contract focuses on delivering MCIPS qualifications, emphasising accessibility for learners with SEND, neurodiverse conditions, and disabilities. The contract falls under the education and training services category, applicable to the location SE1 8UG in the United Kingdom. Utilising a selective procurement method through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, the procurement has moved from the tender stage to the award stage. The tender period ended on 9th July 2025, and the contract commenced on 1st August 2025, scheduled to complete by 1st August 2027, with a total value of £427,026.60.

This procurement presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for enterprises specialising in educational services that cater to diverse learning needs, including SEND and neurodiverse groups. While this contract has been awarded to Business Academy Online Ltd, the dynamic purchasing system framework suggests potential for similar openings in future procurement cycles. However, businesses with SME or VCSE designations were not deemed suitable for this tender. Companies experienced in adaptive learning solutions and inclusive education that can operate within the stipulated contract value and timeframe could strategically align themselves for forthcoming opportunities in this sector.
