Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Business Services Authority, located in Newcastle upon Tyne, recently completed a procurement process to secure AI Training Services aimed at equipping its colleagues with the necessary skills to navigate the complexities and advantages of artificial intelligence. The process concluded with the award of a contract to KPMG LLP under a limited procurement method, following a direct award procedure made possible by the CCS Technology Products and Associated Services 2 Framework. This service falls under the 'Training services' industry category, specifically specialist training services, and will be delivered in the region of UKC.
