Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by NHS England was for a three-month service contract titled "SANS Training," with a focus on education and training services under the industry category of services. The procurement, managed from NHS England's headquarters in London, followed a direct procurement method below the statutory threshold, meaning it was awarded without competition under a light-touch regime. Although the contract commenced on 12th December 2025 and concluded on 31st March 2026, it had an option for a six-month, zero-value renewal. The process moved through tender and award stages until the contract was terminated on 9th June 2026, with the termination stemming from the contract's completion. The total gross value of the contract was £300,000 GBP.

This tender offered business growth opportunities mainly for organisations involved in providing high-quality educational and training services, particularly those specialising in tailored training solutions for public health sectors. Given that the procurement was under the light-touch regime and there was no competition, it represented a viable opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like SANS Training UK Limited, who successfully secured and executed the contract. Such opportunities allow businesses to forge significant relationships within central government frameworks, often leading to long-term collaborations and further tender awards.
