Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, managed by NHS England, centred on the "SCA Package" to aid exam preparation for the RCGPs licensing exams. Classified under education and training services, this contract falls within the services category. The buying organisation, NHS England, operates from Wellington House, London and completed the procurement using a direct method under light-touch rules, bypassing competitive procedures due to the lower value. This contract was signed with Fourteenfish Ltd, a large-scale supplier based in Leeds, lasting from 31st August 2025 until 31st August 2026, with a gross value of £47,005.20. The procurement process reached the award and contract stage, with the contract activated for implementation.

This tender opens avenues for businesses involved in education and training services, especially those who can contribute to reducing costs related to exam extensions. Although below threshold and executed without competition, similar opportunities may appeal to organisations specialised in educational packages for exam preparation, particularly those aimed at professional licensing exams. Thus, businesses with expertise in curriculum development and digital educational platforms might suit future similar procurements by NHS England in aiding healthcare professional training. Additionally, this could indicate potential for partnerships or subcontracting opportunities with entities like Fourteenfish Ltd.
