Summary of the contracting process

NHS England has successfully completed a procurement process titled "Centre for Pharmacy Postgraduate Education (CPPE)," which focuses on education and training services. The procurement falls under the services category within the public education sector and was situated in the United Kingdom. This limited procurement method did not involve prior publication of a call for competition, designed to bridge a gap for a national procurement. The contract was awarded to The University of Manchester, an event formalised on 20th September 2024. NHS England coordinated the procurement, aimed at ensuring the continuation of educational services, and the entire process culminated with the contract's completion in March 2025.

This procurement tender presents significant opportunities for businesses proficient in providing education and training services, especially those that can offer specialised postgraduate education in pharmacy. While the direct opportunity has been awarded to a large-scale institution like The University of Manchester, there remains a continuous need for such specialised educational services within public healthcare frameworks. Businesses that align themselves as subcontractors or collaborative partners with universities and educational bodies, or those that can offer supplementary educational content and delivery mechanisms, will find growth potential in this space. The single-tender action demonstrates niches where bespoke and high-quality educational programmes are required, making it a suitable avenue for experienced educational service providers aiming to expand their reach in the public sector.
