UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS England commissioned services for intake 12 of the Nye Bevan programme. The requirement is classified as education and training services and concerns delivery of this programme intake. NHS England is the buying organisation. The procurement is presented as a single service requirement, with the work associated with the Nye Bevan programme rather than a separately described physical delivery site. The selected provider is KPMG LLP, a large professional services firm. The programme title and scope indicate a specialist education and training engagement for NHS England, rather than the supply of goods, construction works or general business consultancy. Suppliers considering similar work should therefore have relevant capability in designing and delivering structured professional development or training programmes for the NHS or comparable public-sector organisations.

The procurement has been completed and a supplier has been selected. NHS England used a direct award, stating that only one supplier could provide the requirement for technical reasons, with no reasonable alternatives or substitutes. The award is to KPMG LLP for £1,037,322 excluding VAT and £1,244,786.20 including VAT. The award covers the single requirement and has a contract period from 20 March 2026 to 30 September 2027. The tender was above the applicable threshold. The award is recorded as pending, while the tender itself is complete; a signature milestone was scheduled for 19 March 2026. The procurement records a risk of delayed contract start. The stated evaluation route was direct award rather than a competitive tender.

This award provides a clear indicator of NHS England’s demand for specialist education and training delivery through the Nye Bevan programme. A future competitor would need to demonstrate credible technical capability that distinguishes its approach from reasonable alternatives, because the stated award rationale relied on technical exclusivity and the absence of substitutes. Relevant strengths would include experience delivering structured professional development programmes, managing a defined intake, and working with NHS England or similarly complex public-sector audiences. A supplier would also need the organisational capacity to deliver a substantial, multi-stage training engagement and to manage mobilisation risks, including potential delays to the contract start. The selected provider’s scale indicates that substantial delivery and programme-management capability may be expected.
