Summary of the contracting process

NHS England has completed a procurement process titled "Medical Doctor Degree Apprenticeship," classifying it under the education and training services industry. The contract, now awarded to the East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust (ESNFT), covers services due to start in September 2024 and run until 29th August 2029. This procurement was managed through a limited procurement method without prior publication, justified by a technical rationale due to the exclusive approval of a single medical school by the General Medical Council to deliver these apprenticeships.

This procurement creates significant business growth opportunities, particularly for institutions specialised in medical education and training. Organisations capable of delivering high-quality apprenticeship schemes, or those interested in healthcare training collaborations, would find this tender well-suited to their capabilities. Given the high contract value and the scope of services required, larger entities with substantial expertise in healthcare and educational services stand the best chance of effectively competing for such opportunities in the future.
