Summary of the contracting process

NHS England commissioned services for intake 12 of the Nye Bevan programme, covering delivery to two cohorts. The requirement is an education and training service supporting this programme intake. The named buyer is NHS England, a central government public authority. The procurement concerns service delivery rather than goods, construction or a supply-only purchase. The available description identifies the programme and the number of cohorts, but does not set out a wider service specification in the contracting data. The requirement is therefore most relevant to organisations experienced in delivering structured professional education or training programmes for public-sector or healthcare-related audiences, particularly where delivery must support two cohorts within one programme intake.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition, under the light-touch regime. Pricewaterhouse Coopers LLC was selected for the Nye Bevan intake 12 service. The award date was 6 March 2026 and the contract was signed on 17 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 30 September 2027; the recorded service commencement date was 1 April 2026. The contract and awarded value is £119,600 excluding VAT, or £143,520 including VAT. There was one completed lot. The contracting data identifies education and training services as the classification and records no competitive evaluation criteria.

This award indicates NHS England has demand for delivery of the Nye Bevan programme to two cohorts within a defined intake. A credible future competitor would need the capability to design or deliver structured education and training at cohort scale, manage programme delivery across the required service period, and provide dependable administration for participants and stakeholders. Experience of professional development, healthcare leadership or other public-sector training would be commercially relevant to this specific requirement. Suppliers should also be able to operate under a light-touch public procurement route and demonstrate sufficient organisational capacity for a substantial multi-cohort programme. The incumbent is a large professional-services firm, indicating that NHS England accepted a provider with established delivery infrastructure and institutional credibility.
