Summary of the contracting process

NHS England has completed a procurement process for the delivery of an NHS Commercial Learning & Development Centre of Excellence. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically focused on specialist training services, and is geographically located in the UK, within the UKE region. The procedure followed an award method without prior publication of a call for competition, conducted via a mini-competition under a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). The tender aimed to align learning and development modules with the NHS Commercial Competency Framework, with key dates indicating that the contract was signed on 15th August 2025. Moorhouse Consulting Limited, based in London, was awarded the contract, and it is currently active.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in training services, particularly those offering bespoke learning solutions aligned with professional competency frameworks like CILT, CIPS, and SFIA. Businesses capable of delivering high-quality technical training and demonstrating competitive pricing would be well-suited for such opportunities, as the award criteria placed a 70% emphasis on technical quality and 30% on cost. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) were the main bidders, reflecting the potential for smaller businesses to engage in significant public sector contracts. This contract mainly appeals to businesses with robust offerings in clinical procurement, data, and logistics training, allowing them to grow their portfolio and establish themselves within the public sector landscape.
