Summary of the contracting process

NHS England, located in London, has completed the procurement for the "Obstetric Sonography Training Offer" benefiting the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust in Shropshire. This procurement falls under the education and training services category and was executed through a direct method below threshold, meaning no open competition was held. The procurement, under the special "lightTouch" regime, has transitioned from the planning stage and is now in the award and contract stage. The contract was signed on 31st August 2025, with an active service period from 1st September 2025 to 31st March 2026. The total contract value is £17,548 GBP.

This tender presents a notable opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare training services, particularly those with expertise in obstetric sonography. Although the procurement method chosen was direct, indicating that this specific opportunity didn't go through open competition, such a contract highlights the potential for similar future opportunities within NHS frameworks. Businesses with a capacity for bespoke training solutions and a proven track record in collaborating with healthcare institutions can find growth potential in engaging with NHS England's training and development initiatives. Despite the contract being awarded to a large public sector provider, smaller businesses with niche expertise and the ability to offer tailored educational solutions may position themselves advantageously for future collaborations.
