Summary of the contracting process

NHS England led a procurement process to award a contract titled "Removing Racial Bias from Maternity and Neonatal Education and Training," focusing on developing training tools to address racial bias in clinical education. The procurement, initiated as a tender, went through several stages including planning, tender, and award, and concluded with the contract's termination on 31st March 2026, following successful completion. Located in London, NHS England acted as the buyer for this contract, engaging in an open competition below the threshold, with Mokita Training and Consultancy Ltd serving as the supplier. This public contract was guided by legal regulations under the UKPGA 2023/54, with the tender process accommodating electronic submissions via the Atamis e-sourcing portal.

This tender provided substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the education and training sector, promoting the development of inclusive educational resources. The focus on reducing racial bias in clinical environments aligned well with organisations capable of innovating in training and anti-discrimination strategies. Such projects are prime for service providers specialising in educational consultancy, curriculum development, and organisations committed to equity and diversity initiatives. Given the procurement's open and competitive nature, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as businesses with a focus on social value, were encouraged to participate, presenting growth potential through engagement with significant public sector initiatives.
