Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process facilitated by NHS England focused on the "Virtual and Hybrid Learning Faculty (VHLF)" initiative. This process, classified under the "Education and Training Services" industry category, spanned across locations in London and involved a contract that was initially awarded to People-star Limited, a small to medium enterprise situated in Buckinghamshire. The procurement method employed was a direct approach, below the threshold, without competition, under a special light-touch regime. Initiated as a tender, the contract commenced on 8th August 2025 and concluded on 31st March 2026, with a total final value of £500,000 excluding VAT, though its status has since been terminated on administrative grounds on 9th June 2026.

This tender presented significant opportunities for businesses specialising in modern educational methods and learning technologies. Companies focusing on the development and delivery of educational programmes, especially those adept in virtual and hybrid learning environments, stood to benefit from the scope of this contract. By leading an accredited programme aimed at educators and support roles, businesses of similar scale and focus to People-star Limited could enhance their portfolio of services and expertise, positioning themselves as key players in the ongoing digital transformation of educational methodologies within the public sector.
