Summary of the contracting process

NHS England commissioned education and training services for a Human Resources for Health Capability Building Programme. The requirement is for a higher education institution to facilitate a series of online Action Learning Sets, building human-resources-for-health capability in identified low- and middle-income countries. The programme supports country teams and participants to develop practical outputs, including posters and action plans, for wider dissemination and reuse. This is primarily a specialist learning, facilitation and international health workforce development service rather than general training delivery. The recorded delivery location is Leeds, with the contracting activity located in the UK. Suppliers are expected to operate at higher-education or comparable institutional level and to provide the academic, programme-management and online facilitation capability needed to deliver the Action Learning Sets.

The procurement has been awarded and the resulting contracts are recorded as active. It used an open procedure under the education and training services category. The tender had an estimated value of £70,000, with one lot. That lot was recorded as cancelled, but awards were made to the University of Salford and active contracts were signed on 24 February 2023. Two separately recorded contracts each have a value of £299,759.90 and cover 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027; both extend the programme for a final year. The original tender deadline was 3 November 2022 at 12:00, and the award process and bid opening were recorded on 9 November 2022. Evaluation was based on price. One bid was received, valued at £62,500, and electronic or written submission was permitted.

This award indicates demand from NHS England for an established higher education or similarly substantial institutional provider able to deliver international health-workforce capability building through online Action Learning Sets. A credible future competitor would need experienced facilitators who can work with identified low- and middle-income countries, support country teams remotely and turn participant learning into useful, coherent and applicable outputs. Relevant strengths include academic or professional expertise in human resources for health, structured action-learning methods, online programme delivery, stakeholder relationship management and the capacity to sustain a multi-country programme. Experience embedding and maturing an Action Learning Set methodology would be particularly relevant, as would the ability to consolidate learning and prepare posters, action plans and other materials for wider dissemination and reuse.
