Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "BC-24196 UKFPO Contract" was conducted by NHS England, focusing on the education and training services category. This contract covers the UKFPO Prescribing Safety Assessment from July 2024 to June 2028, with the primary location listed as the UK. The procurement stage is now complete, with the contract awarded on 9th September 2024. Employing a 'limited' procurement method, NHS England executed the award without prior publication of a call for competition, a method justified as falling outside the typical scope of application of relevant EU directives.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in education and training services, particularly those that can deliver high-quality healthcare education. The contract was awarded to the British Pharmacological Society, indicating that organisations with similar expertise in pharmacology and healthcare education are well-positioned to compete in future procurement rounds. The process was designed for direct assignment, which can be advantageous for suppliers that already maintain a close relationship with the buying authority like NHS England. While this round has concluded, understanding the tendering preferences of NHS England could prove beneficial for businesses aiming to engage in upcoming opportunities in public sector contracts.
