Summary of the contracting process

NHS England commissioned a suite of professionally produced training videos on chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) incidents. The videos are intended to replace outdated materials focused on pre-hospital care and to provide consistent, engaging training aligned with NHS doctrine. The content is to reflect both ambulance and acute care perspectives, making this a specialist health training communications production rather than a general video commission. NHS England is the buying organisation; the intended audience and use span NHS services, with ambulance and acute care requirements both in scope. The procurement is for services, classified under health services (CPV 85100000).

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Tinker Taylor Limited. NHS England used an open, below-threshold competition. The single lot was evaluated on technical quality (70%), commercial offer (20%) and social value (10%); small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable. The award is recorded as active, and the resulting contract is also active. The contract was signed on 29 July 2026, with a contract period from 3 August 2026 to 3 March 2027. Its value is £55,250 excluding VAT (£66,300 including VAT). The original estimated procurement value was £60,000 excluding VAT (£72,000 including VAT). The tender deadline was 3 February 2026, and the clarification deadline was 27 January 2026.

For suppliers considering similar NHS England requirements, this award demonstrates demand for professionally produced, doctrine-aligned training media addressing CBRN response across both pre-hospital ambulance and acute care settings. A credible competitor would need to translate specialist clinical and emergency-response requirements into accurate, consistent and engaging video content, while working across different care contexts rather than focusing solely on ambulance services. The evaluation placed greatest weight on technical quality, with commercial terms and social value also assessed, so production capability and subject-matter collaboration would need to be supported by a competitive offer and a demonstrable social contribution. The single-lot commission was suited to SMEs and social enterprises, indicating that scale alone was not a barrier to competing.
