Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, managed by the NHS Midlands and Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit, revolves around an annual "Subscription levy" to the Leadership Academy in the North West. The procurement, classified under the education and training services industry, is directed without competition due to its below-threshold status. The process involves a sole provider that offers specialized skills to NHS Finance Teams, and the chosen supplier is Warrington & Halton Teaching Hospitals NHS FT on behalf of the NHS North West Leadership Academy. The contract was awarded on 19th June 2025, with the contract period running from 1st July 2025 to 31st March 2026, and the procurement stage is complete. The main office of the buying organisation is located in Bennett House, Town Road, Stoke-on-Trent, UK.

This tender provides significant business opportunities for firms looking to engage with the NHS, particularly those specialising in education and training services targeted at finance and leadership skill development. Given the direct procurement method used and the contract's specific focus, businesses that are membership-based organisations providing niche educational services for healthcare finance teams would be well-suited to compete. By aligning their offerings with the distinct needs of the NHS Finance Teams, companies can contribute to and grow in the public sector domain.
