Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process managed by NHS England, situated at Wellington House, London, focuses on the provision of an "Obstetric Sonography Training Offer" in the field of education and training services. The buyer, classified as a central government public authority, has completed this service contract, which was awarded directly without competition due to its below-threshold status. The process follows the UK legislation reference 2023/54 and falls under the "light touch" regime. Sherwood Forest Hospitals Trust, located in Sutton-in-Ashfield, was contracted to deliver this service, with the contract active from 1st September 2025 to 31st March 2026. The contract for this initiative was signed on 31st August 2025 and holds a total value of £15,440.

This awarded contract presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for organisations involved in specialised education and training services. While the contract was directly awarded to Sherwood Forest Hospitals Trust, it highlights the importance of building expertise in niche areas like obstetric sonography, which could be beneficial for large-scale service providers aiming to collaborate with government entities like NHS England. Providers with a focus on healthcare training services might find this sector lucrative, especially agencies capable of delivering comprehensive training packages that align with public authority requirements. This opportunity underscores the importance for businesses to maintain robust credentials and visibility to attract similar direct procurement endeavours.
