Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Litigation Authority, based in London, is seeking to enhance its organisational capacity through a Business Report Writing contract, classified under the services category. The procurement process, which is at the award stage, was conducted through limited competition due to the contract being below the threshold. The tender aimed to appoint a training provider to deliver a report writing course on a call-off basis over two years. This contract, valued at £23,700, will commence on 1st November 2025 and conclude on 31st October 2027, having been signed on 22nd October 2025. The location of the contracting authority is Canary Wharf, London, making it easily accessible for UK-based companies.

This contract presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in education and training services, as the main procurement category is services with additional classifications under education and training. Companies like Emphasis Training Ltd, which has been awarded the contract, exemplify the type of business that stands to benefit, particularly those with expertise in delivering bespoke training programs. Engaging in such public sector contracts can help businesses enhance their portfolio, increase visibility within the public sector, and establish long-term relationships with central government authorities such as NHS Resolution.
