Summary of the contracting process

Teesside University is seeking a supplier to design and deliver a health coaching curriculum across the first and second years of its MPharm course. The curriculum must complement the usual training and development of student pharmacists and enable students to obtain a recognised Health Coach qualification by the end of their course. This is an education and training services requirement, including adult and higher education provision. Delivery is associated with Teesside University in Middlesbrough and the wider North East of England. The buyer is the university itself. The requirement is therefore suited to organisations that can provide structured health coaching education within a higher education setting and align it with the development needs of student pharmacists.

The procurement reached tender: Teesside University invited offers through an open procedure. The tender deadline set by the buyer was 31 August 2026 at 17:00 British Summer Time. The contract period is from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. Its estimated value is between £50,000 and £100,000, in total. The requirement covers a single curriculum service rather than separately described lots. Evaluation and selection are to be based solely on the criteria set out in the procurement documents. The published requirement identifies the work as a service and indicates that both small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations may be suitable participants.

This opportunity suits a health coaching education provider, higher education training organisation, pharmacy education specialist or partnership able to design and run a curriculum for student pharmacists. Suppliers should be capable of delivering teaching across the early stages of an MPharm course, integrating health coaching with existing pharmacist training and development, and supporting learners towards a recognised Health Coach qualification. Relevant experience in health coaching, adult education, higher education or pharmacy education would place a supplier well. The requirement may suit SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations, provided they can meet the procurement criteria and demonstrate the educational capability, qualification pathway and delivery capacity needed for a structured student programme.
