Summary of the contracting process

Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board commissioned continued professional development training for nurses and midwives. The requirement covers education and training services, with delivery in Wales. The Health Board is the buying organisation, while NHS Wales Shared Services and Partnership managed the procurement from planning through to award. The scope is focused on maintaining and developing the professional skills of nursing and midwifery staff rather than supplying general training services. This is therefore relevant to universities, higher education providers, specialist healthcare education organisations and other established providers able to design and deliver structured professional development for NHS nurses and midwives. The requirement is classified as education and training services (CPV 80000000) and was arranged as one complete lot.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded by direct award for continuity of service. The University of South Wales was selected as supplier. The award date was 18 March 2026, with a value of £340,000 including stated gross value. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2028. One lot was used, and it was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The contract is above the relevant threshold. A standstill period ended on 27 March 2026. The procurement rationale was continuity of the service, and the award is active with the contract also recorded as active.

This award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for continuing professional development training specifically for nurses and midwives, delivered at substantial institutional scale through a higher education provider. Suppliers considering comparable future requirements would need credible capability in healthcare education, professional development and the delivery of structured learning for clinical staff. Experience working with NHS organisations or comparable regulated healthcare environments would help demonstrate understanding of clinical roles, workforce needs and service continuity. A strong provider would also need sufficient teaching capacity, subject expertise and operational arrangements to support an organisation-wide programme rather than isolated individual training. Universities, specialist nursing and midwifery education providers, and established healthcare training organisations are the most closely aligned competitors.
