Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was initiated by North East London NHS Foundation Trust (NELFT), detailed as a public authority within the central government framework. They sought an Accredited Mediation Programme as part of their Just and Compassionate Culture Transformation initiative for HR and senior staff across Essex, Kent, and North London. The process culminated in February 2026, with a limited competition procurement method, below the threshold value of £12,500, and the contract starting on 2nd March 2026 for a year. The programme falls under the services category, specifically focusing on education and training services, with North East London NHS Foundation Trust located at CEME Centre - West Wing, Marsh Way, Essex, RM13 8GQ.

This procurement offers growth opportunities for providers of specialised education and training services, particularly those experienced in mediating organisational change. Large enterprises such as The TCM Group, successful in securing the contract, exemplify the suitability for businesses with expertise in HR-focused training and mediation programmes. Companies aiming to expand within the healthcare sector, primarily interfacing with NHS organisations across large geographical locales, would find this tender an ideal platform to showcase their capability to support systemic cultural transformations.
