Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process, initiated by the Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust trading as North of England NHS Commercial Procurement Collaborative (NOE CPC), seeks to deliver Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and Educational Services, including Apprenticeships, for various public sector bodies. The procurement, which falls under the industry category of education and training services, is currently in the award stage. It covers locations across the UK. The tender was most recently updated on 28 February 2025. Interested suppliers have until 2 August 2024 to submit their bids. The procurement aims to establish a framework agreement for 720 days, with entities including numerous NHS Trusts and public sector bodies eligible to utilise the resulting agreements, subject to the approval of NOE CPC.

This tender presents significant opportunities for providers of CPD and educational services. Eligible suppliers include those already appointed who wish to bid for additional Lots, and new suppliers aiming to penetrate this market. These services are in high demand among the listed entities, which include NHS Trusts and public sector bodies across the UK. Businesses capable of providing high-quality educational assurance processes, and adherence to inspection standards by bodies such as Ofsted, will find this an excellent growth opportunity. Providers like universities, colleges, training centres, and other educational institutions that offer robust courses and apprenticeships can benefit greatly from being part of this framework.
